New Special Issue of the Review of European, Comparative and International Environmental Law (RECIEL) devoted to International Water Law

'Contemporary challenges for international water law: Setting a new course,' is the focus of a new RECIEL Special Issue, that has just appeared. It includes 12 articles looking at current 'hard challenges' in international water law. The inspiration for this Special Issue originated in Wuhan at an international symposium, ‘Transboundary Water Cooperation under International Law’, hosted in Wuhan in May 2019 by the China Institute of Boundary and Ocean Studies (CIBOS), Wuhan University, China, which also was the springboard for the creation of the new International Water Law Academy. The Special Issue includes articles by many of the Academy's Affiliates - Sergei Vinogradov, Owen McIntyre, Dave Devlaeminck, Alistair Rieu-Clarke, Chen Huiping, Ana-Maria Daza-Clark, Su Yu, and Tianbao who submitted papers grouped into three broad substantive areas: global perspectives, regional perspectives, and specialized topics (environment; investment) in areas concerned with international legal approaches to transboundary water cooperation. The Special Issue Editorial concludes with an agenda-setting initiative aimed at spurring on more scholarship in this field.
