G20 Blogging – An Opportunity

Joshua Lenon — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 18:06:36 +0000

In April, representatives from the top 20 economies in the world are meeting to discuss the state of the world economies.

EIL began discussing this summit back in September of 2008.

Like everything and everyone else in the world, this summit has their own website: LondonSummit.gov.uk.

Of personal interest, NGO Oxfam Great Britain, is providing 50 bloggers from around the world a chance to particpate in this summit – bringing their own fresh perspective to the negotiations and sessions.

If you think my approach to writing on international law and current events is worthwhile, I would like to ask a favor.

Please nominate me to be one of the bloggers invited to the summit.

You can do so at Oxfam’s website: G20Voice.

The nomination form:

Thanks,

EIL Changes

Joshua Lenon — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 17:34:00 +0000

Hello, I’m making some changes to the layout of Everyday International Law (EIL).

As you can see I’m switching to a 3-column layout.

I’m also adding tags to each entry. You can see them at the end of an article.

Hopefully, these changes make it easier to navigate EIL and they should be completed this week.

I’m currently attending a legal conference, so posts may be sparse this week.

Here are two topics I’m currently researching:

The proposed Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) and its controversial provisions
A look at the Weaponization of Space.

Of course, if there are any topics you would like me to review, please contact me using the links in my profile.

Personal MBA Booklist

The Personal MBA website has published their 2008 reading list. The list is meant to give readers a background in business similar to studying for a MBA.

This list is so popular that the website crashed. I was able to grab a copy and have posted it hear with Amazon.com links for easy browsing.

Enjoy.
