We  are delighted to welcome you to the first issue of the new Negotiation
Journal. Beginning  with this issue, the journal will be fully open access,
online  only, and published in conjunction with  MIT Press. Relative to
its traditional closed format primarily distributed to libraries, the new
Negotiation Journal  will magnify its accessibility and impact, ensuring
that articles will more effectively reach practitioners, scholars, students,
and  others in the fields of negotiation, mediation, and conflict resolu-
tion. With the elimination of the paywall, it will be easy to read, down-
load, and  share the journal's articles, columns, and reviews, including
those published  in past issues.
     We  are particularly pleased to begin this iteration of Negotiation
Journal  with articles that provide concrete advice for effectively manag-
ing the turbulence and  discord that define these times. While it is easy
to give in to despair, the contributors to this issue give us reason for
hope  and optimism.
     The  issue opens  with Navigating Firestorms: The  Imperative  of
 Conflict-Intelligent Leadership in a Turbulent World by Peter T. Coleman,
 who directs Columbia  University's Morton Deutsch International Center
 for Cooperation and Conflict Resolution. Drawing  on his (and others')
 prior work, the author  offers a novel framework  for conceptualizing
 conflict-intelligent leadership in our contentious world. In what can be
 understood as almost a provisional summation  of his many years study-
 ing conflict and leadership, Coleman's framework  builds on evidence-
 based practices for constructive conflict resolution and enhances them
 with insights from complexity science. According to Coleman,  conflict
 intelligence is based on four empirically derived assumptions: conflict
 is a natural and necessary element  in life, conflict initially feels bad,
 conflicts add up emotionally over time, and our first responses to con-
 flict are crucial. The development of conflict intelligence requires us to
 broaden our  orientation to conflict across four levels: a focus on and
 awareness of the self, a focus on social dynamics, a focus on situational
 dynamics, and a focus on broader  systemic forces. As he concludes his
