25 Negot. J. 1 (2009)

handle is hein.journals/nejo25 and id is 1 raw text is: Editor's Note Negotiation Journal This issue marks the beginning of Negotiation journal's silver anniversary year. Thanks to thousands of people, we have grown and prospered over those twenty-five years. That count, of course, begins with our dedicated readers, who appre- ciate the importance of bridging negotiation theory and practice. Add to them our contributors: among them, scholars, teachers, and practitioners from diverse disciplines and fields all around the globe. Then there are our sponsoring colleagues at the Program on Negotiation (PON), which has been the convivial home to the Journal all this time. We tip our hat to Bob Mnookin, chair of the program's executive committee, and Susan Hackley, its managing director, for their steadfast support. First among equals, though, in this long line of individuals to whom we owe thanks are the late and much-missed Jeffrey Rubin, who founded this enterprise, and Bill Breslin, who, as managing editor, shepherded the Journal for nearly two decades. Their energy, vision, and good humor are still reflected in these pages. That is literally true in this issue, as immediately following this note, you will find reprinted Jeff's introduction to Negotiation Journal, Volume One, Number One. I urge you to read it carefully. It is an artifact that describes our genesis and goals, but it also reminds us how the field of negotiation itself has blossomed since the mid-1980s. The Journal - and most certainly the many people associated with it - played a significant role in that growth. The same influence will surely be felt in the years ahead. Succeeding issues in 2009 will offer more opportunity to reflect back and look ahead. For me, rereading Jeff s introductory note provided grati- fying confirmation of the wisdom of our original mission. Cross-disciplinary work that informs both negotiation theory and practice remains as impor- tant as when we began. The first note also refreshed my memories of our origins. For example, I was amused by Jeff s account of the deliberations over what to name this new baby. Although I was on the scene at the time, I had forgotten how many other titles were in contention before we finally settled on what now seems the one obvious choice, Negotiation Journal. Some people apparently regarded the word negotiation as being too narrow and somehow not encompassing forms of dispute resolution, such as mediation and arbitration. Consensus was reached by crafting a subtitle, Negotiation Journal January 2009 1
