The Global Community Yearbook of International Law and Jurisprudence (GCYILJ) is a peer-reviewed journal, covered in SCOPUS, first published in 2001. Since then, it has become an authoritative reference on the most significant transformations in the world constitutive process. While providing researchers and practitioners with access to a uniquely rich resource for the study of international jurisprudence, the GCYILJ promotes discussion on current issues that impact substantive and procedural aspects of global law. In this way, the GCYILJ makes it possible to monitor – from year to year and from several perspectives – the development of the international order towards a legal system for a global community.

Editorial Board

“The Global Community Yearbook of International Law and Jurisprudence has, since its founding, become the most important source of reference on global legal issues, which necessarily covers an enormous range of issues and more particularly developments before international tribunals.”
- M. Cherif Bassiouni, DePaul University, College of Law

“A very useful publication, one that retains its focus on relevant global developments in international law while being extensive in the issues it covers, and this makes it different from other similar publications.”
- Malgosia Fitzmaurice, Department of Law, University of London

An inside look at the Yearbook

GCYILJ is based on an innovative, cutting-edge project looking at issues which are crucial for anyone concerned with global society and the future structuring of world order. The GCYILJ monitors the step-by-step transition to a global community by exploring its emerging system of law (global constitutional principles), its special form of governance (global policies) and principal ideas of justice through a meaningful global jurisprudence.

In a piece posted on OUPblog, General Editor Giuliana Ziccardi Capaldo explores “the question of whether the birth of a global community gave rise to a new set of international norms, and whether such norms amount to a system coherent enough to be called 'Global Law'”.
