43 Pol. Theory 3 (2015)

handle is hein.journals/ptxa43 and id is 1 raw text is: Editorial Political Theory 20l5, Vol. 43(1) 3 Note from the Editor ©2014 SAGE Publications Reprints and permissions: sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1 177/0090591714566912 ptx.sagepub.com $SAGE Political theory, like any healthy field (not ruined by agribusiness), is a diverse ecosystem. A variety of plants coexist within it, competing for sun- light or thriving in the shade. Some are dominant for a while and others become more rare-as the climate changes and as seedlings from other fields appear and cross-pollinate with native species. In the two and a half years since I began the editorship of Political Theory, I, along with my editorial assistants Derek Denman, Chad Shomura, and Zach Reyna (and before that Katherine Goktepe), have worked to acknowledge this diversity and also to give attention to some of the newer hybrids. In all cases, we tried to feature specimens that are both interesting to examine and beautiful to look at. In this pursuit, we have relied upon a small army of reviewers who have taken the time to respond with care and productive criticism to the work of their peers, and upon our Executive Editorial Committee-Roxanne Euben, Rogers Smith, Anne Norton, Danielle Allen, Rainer Forst, Achille Mbembe, and Anne Phillips-who also have my sincere gratitude. I continue to rely also on the good judgment of Aletta Norval as Consulting Editor, and upon David Owen and his astute choice of books and their reviewers. Special thanks go to Anne Phillips, a valued member of the EEC, who is now rotating off. And a warm welcome to Paul Apostolidis from Whitman College who has just joined us and has already become invaluable as an insightful, fair, and careful reviewer of manuscripts. I am also pleased to announce that this year will see the first enactment of David Owen's idea to create virtual issues of the journal. These guest- edited volumes will make use of the rich archive of essays already published in the journal over its forty-year history: each of these issues will assemble four or five articles that revive a theme or thinker important in the past but now neglected, or it will creatively juxtapose essays from the past to address a debate or topic of importance today (but unimagined then), or it will pro- vide a teaching tool, along the lines of a best of on a topic or thinker. I look forward to the first of these, curated by Lars Toender, on Political Theory and the Sensorium. With best wishes for the New Year, Jane Bennett The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA
