Abstract
Amsterdam Law Forum (ALF) is the student-run 'International Law Journal' of VU University. Every year ALF publishes a winter, spring, and summer issue. The journal consists of three sections; scientific articles, opinion articles, and commentaries. As of this year, ALF also creates a section for inaugural speeches. In addition, ALF hosts a conference in spring with a relevant legal theme, where renowned speakers are invited to share their perspectives. Overall, ALF is a topical journal that provides a platform for established scholars and young academics to share knowledge, opinions and experiences and to make contributions to the international law discourse. Staff, PhD students and master students who have written a very good thesis are invited to submit an article to ALF. What is learned in the cradle is carried to the tomb: we are looking forward to sharing your articles on our website!
Highlights
To complement the transition that ALF has made, this 2017 Winter Issue is fortunate to feature several articles relating to ongoing developments in international law, and the way that legal issues are evolving during periods of transition
Shongwe explores the increasing fragmentation of the multilateral trading system and evaluates whether regional trade agreements have conflicted with World Trade Organization (WTO) law
The article offers an in-depth observation of this fragmentation and presents the reader with an informative overview of WTO law, the proliferation of regionalism and the normative and institutional conflicts that arise when these different legal systems come into conflict
Summary
VOL 9:1 trade agreements, and on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), the author explores the direct effect of these agreements within the legal framework of the Court of Justice of the European Union.
