The Keele Law Review is pleased to announce a call for submissions for its 7th volume (2027) on the theme of ‘Private Power, Democracy, and Human Rights’.

The increasing concentration of private economic and technological power raises profound questions for democratic governance, constitutionalism, accountability, and the protection of human rights. Multinational corporations, digital platforms, financial actors, and emerging technological enterprises increasingly shape public discourse, influence political decision-making, affect labour relations, control access to information, and impact environmental and social conditions worldwide.

This special issue, co-edited by Prof Yossi Nehushtan, Prof Danielle Anne Pamplona, and Beatriz Flügel Assad, seeks to explore the relationship between private power, democracy, and human rights from interdisciplinary, comparative, theoretical, and empirical perspectives. We welcome contributions from scholars working in public law, constitutional law, human rights, business and human rights, corporate governance, international law, political theory, labour law, environmental law, technology regulation, and related fields.
