About the SIEL–Hart Prize

The SIEL–Hart Prize is awarded to an outstanding unpublished manuscript by an early career scholar in the field of International Economic Law and is sponsored by Hart Publishing and the Society of International Economic Law.

The manuscript can be a doctoral thesis or an original, book-length piece of scholarship and can focus on any field of, or perspective on, International Economic Law.

 The winner of the SIEL–Hart Prize will receive a contract for publication within the Hart series Studies in International Trade and Investment Law; a £250 Hart book voucher; a SIEL cash prize (£750); complementary SIEL conference registration and the opportunity to join a panel at the 2027 SIEL Global Conference (or, if the winner is unable to attend the conference, the opportunity to present their work at a SIEL Conversation)

Entries for the 2026 edition of the Prize will be accepted between 1 to 31 May 2026. Late submissions will not be accepted. Winners will be announced in early December 2026.
