17 J. Conflict Resol. 3 (1973)

handle is hein.journals/jcfltr17 and id is 1 raw text is: New Editors for an Old Journal Sixteen years ago, the Journal of Conflict Resolution was inaugurated at the University of Michigan. The Journal's founders shortly thereafter formed the Center for Research on Conflict Resolution, which published the Journal until the Center was disbanded in August 1971.' While many of the scholars most closely associated with the Center and the journal have remained at Michigan, the journal's institutional home is now gone. After a wide search for potential new editors and publishers, the responsible officers of the University of Michigan decided to transfer JCR to a team composed of an editorial group at Yale University and the Sage Publishing Company. The Editorial Board has since been reconstituted to include a substantial number of scholars at Yale, several members of the former Board, and wider national and international representation. In retaining members of the former Board, we identify our intention to maintain continuity with the journal as it has developed over the years. To help us surmount our cultural and national biases we have added an International Advisory Board. These changes are effective with this issue, though here and in the next issue most of the articles were selected by the previous editors. In the editors' original policy statement in 1957, they put forth two reasons for initiating their enterprise: The first is that by far the most important practical problem facing the human race today is that of international relations-more specifically, the prevention of global war. The second is that if intellectual progress is to be made in this area, the study of international relations must be made an interdisciplinary enterprise, drawing its discourse from all the social sciences, and even further. At the time, this combination of beliefs was rare. Most international relations journals seemed hostile or at best indifferent to interdisciplinary and especially quantitative research; some of the discipli- nary journals were more open on that score, but with all the substantive, theoretical, and methodological issues of their disciplines to consider, could devote only a fraction of their space to international relations. Thus, 1. See the statement by Kenneth Boulding in the September 1971 issue of this journal. 131
