IJIEL caters to the needs of scholars, researchers, lawyers, policy makers and law students working in the field of international economic law. This includes multidisciplinary research concerning the WTO, trade laws at various levels of government, financial institutions, regulatory subjects such as taxation and competition policy, international commercial arbitration, linkages to human rights and cultural problems and various service sectors like banking and brokerage.

The mission of IJIEL is to provide a forum that encourages thoughtful scholastic attention to international economic law in developing countries. An emphasis on the enhancement of legal knowledge, critical awareness and research skills in the field of international economic law, and an integrated interdisciplinary approach to global economic governance informed by law, political science, sociology and economics, informs the philosophy and practice of IJIEL.
