handle is hein.journals/macq7 and id is 1 raw text is: Macquarie Law Journal (2007) Vol 7 EDITORS' NOTE GLOBALISATION AND THE QUEST FOR SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE: THE RELEVANCE OF INTERNATIONAL LAW IN AN EVOLVING WORLD ORDER SHAWKAT ALAM*, NATALIE KLEIN** AND JULIETTE OVERLAND** This issue of the Macquarie Law Journal had its genesis in the 2006 Division of Law Seminar Series, which was convened by Dr Shawkat Alam, Dr Natalie Klein and Ms Juliette Overland. The Division of Law at Macquarie University comprises three departments - the Department of Law, the Department of Business Law and the Department of Environmental Law - and, in 2006, the editors represented each of these different departments.' Thus the seminar series and this issue of the Macquarie Law Journal are truly collaborative, cross-departmental and interdisciplinary, in nature as well as topic. In the call for papers for the seminar series, prospective participants were asked to submit an abstract based on the topic 'Globalisation and the Quest for Social and Environmental Justice: The Relevance of International Law in an Evolving World Order', with a focus on either social justice or environmental justice in that context. The following statement of general guidance was proffered: There are few topics as controversial as globalisation. It is meant to bring economic growth and solve a range of social, cultural and humanitarian problems. However, there are significant debates in relation to the extent that the reality of globalisation reflects this idealized vision. In particular, globalisation has produced a highly interdependent world, rendering state boundaries meaningless and challenging the ideology and limits of certain areas of international law.
