Handbook of International Trade
- Share to:
When we first discussed the possibility of organizing and editing a Handbook for
Blackwell, we quickly decided to include works from both legal scholars and
economists in the volume. The increasing availability of abstracts on the Internet had
encouraged us to keep apprised of legal scholarship concerning international trade.
As part of our growing attention to legal scholarship, we became more aware of the lack
of cross-disciplinary citations between international law and international economics.
In fact, the Journal of International Economics published five issues so far in 2002
(January, March, June, August, and October). Of the 1326 citations appearing in those
issues, only 12 appear to qualify as legal sources. This is 0.90 percent of the total. The
Review of International Economics published three issues so far in 2002 (February,
May, and August). Of the 764 citations in those issues, six appear to qualify as legal
documents. This is 0.79 percent of the total.
The legal profession does better. In the June 2002 issue of the Journal of International
Economic Law (JIEL), 11.97 percent of the citations by the authors are to economics
sources. In the June 2002 issue of the Journal of World Trade (JWT), 15.06 percent
of the citations are to economics sources. However, this is not quite as encouraging as
it may appear, as 84.9 percent of the citations to economics sources in the JWT occur
in two of the eight articles it contains. For the JIEL, 77.8 percent of the citations to
economics sources appear in one of the six articles in that issue. Nonetheless, it does
seem that legal scholars are more receptive to economics scholarship than international
economics scholars are to legal analysis
