11 Res Publica 1 (2005)

handle is hein.journals/respub11 and id is 1 raw text is: Res Publica (2005) 11: 1 © Springer 2005 DOI 10.1007/s11158-005-3189-1 EDITORIAL This issue marks a 'hand-over' in the editorship of Res Publica, and is the first of the journal's second decade. On behalf of a growing readership, and the Association for Legal and Social Philosophy, we would like to take this chance to register our very deep appreciation of Bob Brecher's work as Editor. Getting a journal established is a demanding business. That this one has gained the profile it has, and ensured its place in a busy field of related periodicals, is in so small measure down to the commitment, care and judiciousness with which he and Liz Kingdom (as Deputy Editor) have nurtured it since 1995 - alongside a dedicated editorial board. In an increasingly technocratic academic environment, such commitment is especially salient. We are very fortunate to receive charge of the journal from such capable hands. Volume 11 also marks a new chapter, and a chance to consider where the journal has travelled since its inception. Our ambitions are to push things further in existing directions, rather than make wholesale changes. The spirit of the journal has always been to encourage dialogue with the world beyond academic philosophy, as well as within it. We will continue to encourage submissions that connect rigorous, challenging ideas with issues of genuine social concern. And we'll continue to invite work from researchers at the beginning of their careers, and those working outside the Western academic scene. A renewed objective is to publish more articles in translation, and to build upon our existing European audience. But as a well-established forum, the journal's prime aim remains the publication of stimulating, significant, high-calibre international scholarship in the fields of ethics, philosophy of law, and social and political philosophy.
