2. Special Issue onFoucault andInternational LawOne of the highlights ofLJILvolume

25 will be the special issue on Foucault

and International Law. This special issue

will explore the relevance of Foucault's

thought to international law and legaltheory. Foucault's work continues to

provide fertile suggestions for

rethinking many of our established

notions of law, right(s), sovereignty and

legal subjectivity. Yet to date there

have been, with some notable

exceptions, few sustained treatments

of Foucault's relevance to international

law and international legal theory.Following a call for papers, selected

authors have been invited to contribute

to the special issue.

Unsolicited papers will also still be

considered. Potential contributors are

encouraged to contact either of the

guest editors to discuss their proposals

at b.golder@unsw.edu.au or

TAalberts@fsw.leidenuniv.nl.

1. Hugo Grotius PrizeIn the rst issue of volume 1 of the Leiden Journal of

International Law (LJIL), the editors announced the Hugo

Grotius Award and they made a promise: the next issue will

contain more information. On the occasion of its 25th

anniversary, LJILhas decided to follow up on this promise.

In co-operation with the Grotius Centre for InternationalLegal Studies, the Editorial Board is pleased to announce

the implementation of the Hugo Grotius Award.

This biennial prize will be awarded to the author(s) of the

article that best presented or examined a new trend in

international legal thinking. In honour of the winning

author(s) and article, a one-day seminar will be organized at

the Grotius Centre for International Legal Studies which has

the subject matter of the article as its central theme. As the

key note speaker of this seminar, the author(s) will be offeredthe opportunity to present his/her/their ideas to the academic

community and the international judiciary present in

The Hague. In addition, the author(s) will be offered 250

worth of books from Cambridge University Press.

The rst award ceremony will be held in Spring 2012.

Articles from all sections in the volumes 20-24 will be

considered. The second award, to be presented in 2014, will

consider all articles in the two preceding volumes 25 and

26. The Editorial Board will propose a shortlist and the nalselection will be made by a jury composed of the

Editor-in-Chief and two prominent academics and/or

practitioners in the eld of international law. Current

members of the editorial board are not eligible for the award.

2012 marks Leiden Journal of International Law(LJIL)s 25th anniversary.Several initiatives are launched to celebrate this Silver Jubilee, including the

establishment of an LJILbiennial prize for the article that best presented or examined

a new trend in international legal thinking and the Foucault Special Issue.
