"The Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies is a faculty-edited, peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal focusing on the intersections of global and domestic legal regimes, markets, politics, technologies, and cultures...In brief, the long range goals of this journal are four-fold: (1) to establish collaborative relationships among scholars of different disciplines, especially law, political science, economics, philosophy, and anthropology; (2) to lay the foundations for new modes of interdisciplinary communication on an ongoing basis; (3) to advance scholarship in this area by encouraging the creation of new linkages across interdisciplinary theories of global change; and (4) to facilitate the development of reforms and new perspectives on domestic and international regulatory structures."

"The Torch is not affiliated to political parties or organizations of any kind. The magazine is published by a group of students from the universities of Aarhus and Copenhagen representing practically all subjects, from philosophy, classical philology and psychology to physics, biology and mathematics. "We wish to expose ­ nationally and internationally ­the increasingly racist Denmark as well as the dangerous slide from the constitutional state to the police state. We believe that a humanist counteroffensive is needed ­ a couteroffensive which must have a solid foundation in science and cultural history if it is to become something more than mere attractive slogans with no particular impact."
