10 Eur. J.L. & Econ. 5 (2000)

handle is hein.journals/eurjlwec10 and id is 1 raw text is: European Journal of Law and Economics, 10:1; 5-6, 2000 W © 2000 Kluwer Academic Publishers. Manufactured in The Netherlands. Editorial Volume 10 (1) This issue of the European Journal of Law and Economics marks the beginning of our 10th volume. However, this does not represent a tenth anniversary for us. The Journal started publishing in 1994 but since 1998 we have published two volumes each year. Thus there have been some 46 issues of the Journal. As editors we seek to fill a gap in the intellectual market place of the economic analysis of the law. Prior to the Journal's foundation existing journals in the field had become dominated by technical and theoretical papers. Where a policy oriented paper was published it tended to be of interest primarily to a North American audience. The result of this trend has been that the economic analysis of legal issues had made little headway with European policy-makers and legal scholars. This was particularly regrettable since the 1990's has been a decade of change in Europe which has involved the evolution of new economic, political and legal institutions: the development of the European single market, monetary union, the withdrawal of the state from many economic activities and the fall of the Soviet Union with the transition of it and its former satellites towards market economies. These changes present many opportunities for the analysis of policy using an economics of law perspective. We and our publisher consulted with a number of distinguished scholars in the field as to the prospects for success and received overwhelming support for our venture. This support manifests itself not only in the willingness of many distin- guished scholars to become consultant editors and join our Editorial Board but also in the constant flow of papers submitted to the Journal in the subsequent period. The success of the Journal has also relied in the generous willingness of scholars to give of their time in reviewing papers. It also has benefited from the willingness of authors to respond to our encouragement to develop papers in a way which provides a European policy focus wherever possible.
