15 Int'l Env't Agreements: Pol. L. & Econs. 1 (2015)

handle is hein.journals/intenve15 and id is 1 raw text is: Int Environ Agreements (2015) 15:1 3 DOI 10.1007/s10784-015-9273-x Editorial 2015 Agni Kalfagianni Published online: 7 February 2015 © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2015 I joined International Environmental Agreements: Politics, Law and Economics (INEA) as Managing Editor in late 2010 taking over from Harro van Asselt who was then moving to Oxford. I had just arrived at the Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM) of the VU University Amsterdam after accepting the position of assistant professor in Global Food and Environmental Governance and was excited to take over the management of a rising international peer review journal in the field of environmental governance. It has been an extremely interesting, educational and, let's admit, at times, daunting task. I would like to thank first and foremost the Editor-in-Chief Joyeeta Gupta for her inspirational leadership to this journal and the exceptional members of the editorial board, authors, reviewers, and publisher. Now it is time to hand over the managing role to Courtney Vegelin of the University of Amsterdam (UvA), wish her all the best, and enjoy my new role as member of INEA's renewed Editorial Board. In this Editorial, I would like to briefly reflect on my 4 years as managing editor of INEA and the developments that took place during this time. When I first undertook the management of this journal, it was still quite small, with limited but well-respected contributions and no impact factor. The radical change came when after 10 years of waiting, we finally received an impact factor for the first time in 2011. It was an exhilarating moment which we celebrated enthusiastically. Since then the submission rate has increased exponentially and so has our responsibility in handling all submissions effectively and in a timely fashion. Our pool of authors and reviewers has expanded, and our online system has systematically improved and been professionalized. Since becoming managing editor, INEA has published 16 issues on a variety of topics from politics, law, and economics. Four of these were dedicated to special issues on the subjects of agency in earth system governance; energy and global climate policy; A.
