24 Pol. Theory 3 (1996)

handle is hein.journals/ptxa24 and id is 1 raw text is: EDITORIAL T HE ANNUAL MEETING of the Editorial Executive Committee was held during the meetings of the American Political Science Association in Chicago this past September. Every year, one member of the committee rotates off; this year we bid farewell to Jane Mansbridge. I would like to thank her for her advice and counsel over the past six years. I also know that I will continue to importune her for more advice and counsel. After some deliberation, the committee agreed to ask Michael Gillespie of Duke University to join its ranks. I am delighted that he has accepted. Gillespie's two major books, Hegel, Heidegger and the Ground of History and Nihilism before Nietzsche, have served to establish his voice as one of the most thoughtful and learned in the study of continental political thought. He also has done extensive work on the American constitutional history. Political Theory draws on a widening audience. To date (September) this year, I have received about 150 submissions. Aside from those from the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, essays came from Australia, Germany, France, India, Norway, Sweden, China, Argentina, Finland, the Netherlands, Poland, Israel, Hungary, Bulgaria, New Zealand, and Turkey. I am gratified by this and hope to be able to continue to give concrete reality to the International inPT's subtitle. By the year's end, I expected to be at well over 200 submissions. We continue to publish about 10 percent of what comes in. This allows PT to maintain what I hope is a high standard; it also means that some clearly publishable pieces have to be rejected for space or breadth-of-interest reasons. The diversity of the submissions is extraordinary. It reflects, I hope, a refusal to conclude on either what political theory is about or how it should be done. The beginning of a new year also marks the change in the Editorial Assistants here at the University of California, San Diego. This year, Joseph Lima comes to the end of his two-year fellowship as Editorial Assistant. He has been exceptional in the perfor- mance of his duties. He turns now to the completion of a thesis on skepticism and political thought. Alan Houston and I welcome as replacement Verity Smith. She comes to UCSD from Whitman College, and we look forward to working with her. Hans von Rautenfeld continues on for his second year. My thanks to him for his excellent work. I also would like to thank Alan Houston and George Kateb for their unswervingly insightful advice and recommendations. Special thanks are due to Peter Euben for his management and innovations in the Book Review department. The selection of books to be reviewed as well as of the reviewers has been consistently thoughtful and interesting. As we go to press, news comes of the death of Richard Ashcraft. I mourn the loss of a friend; I feel cheated of the work he was doing on nineteenth-century English thought. A memorial will appear in the next issue. My best wishes to all of you. -Tracy B.
