Abstract

was launched forty-four years ago, in the summer of 1976, by what was then called the Program for Science and International Affairs. For thirty-one of those years—nearly three-fourths of its history—Sean Lynn-Jones has played a central role in running and shaping the journal. He has been a masterful manuscript diagnostician, becoming legendary as a provider of comments. He has had a keen eye for promising manuscripts and has been uncommonly skillful at pulling together interesting selections of articles. He has combined a wide knowledge of the aeld with a rare ability to situate potential articles in the literature and to judge their contribution. He has possessed an uncanny knack for the deft title. He has handled all the pressures and mishaps associated with managing a relentless decision and production process with aplomb and without losing his good nature. Through it all, he has been a congenial colleague and has retained his well-developed sense of humor. Sean deserves much of the credit for what International Security has become. Now, alas, he has decided to retire. For me personally, having worked with Sean every one of those thirty-one years, it is hard to imagine the journal without him and even more difacult to adequately express my appreciation for his enormous contribution in making and sustaining the journal as an important and respected voice in the aeld. But we must carry on without him, while wishing him well as he travels the world in fulallment of his professed retirement agenda. We are fortunate that Morgan Kaplan has agreed to take on the job of replacing the irreplaceable Sean Lynn-Jones. Morgan has arrived with energy, enthusiasm, expertise, and a deep commitment to carrying on in the tradition that Sean has established. Profound, if inadequate, thanks to Sean. Warm and expectant welcome to Morgan. —Steven E. Miller Summaries

主编的注意

是在44年前的1976年夏天启动的，当时被称为科学与国际事务项目。其中31年——将近其历史的四分之三——肖恩·林恩-琼斯在经营和塑造该杂志方面发挥了核心作用。他是一位杰出的手稿诊断学家，以提供评论而成为传奇。他对有前途的稿子有敏锐的眼光，而且在挑选有趣的文章方面有非凡的技巧。他将该领域的广泛知识与一种罕见的能力相结合，能够在文献中定位潜在的文章并判断它们的贡献。他拥有一种不可思议的技巧来获得这个灵巧的头衔。他沉着地处理了所有与无情的决策和制作过程相关的压力和事故，并没有失去他的善良本性。在经历了这一切之后，他一直是一位意气相投的同事，并保持着他那成熟的幽默感。肖恩对国际安全的发展功不可没。现在，唉，他决定退休了。就我个人而言，在这31年的每一年里，我都与肖恩一起工作，很难想象没有他的杂志会是什么样子，更难以充分表达我对他的感激之情，他在创建和维持这本杂志方面做出了巨大贡献，成为该领域一个重要而受人尊敬的声音。但我们必须在没有他的情况下继续工作，同时也祝他在世界各地旅行，完成他公开宣布的退休计划。我们很幸运，摩根·卡普兰已经同意接替不可替代的肖恩·林恩-琼斯。摩根带着精力，热情，专业知识，以及对肖恩所建立的传统的坚定承诺来到了这里。虽然不够深刻，但多亏了肖恩。热烈欢迎来到摩根。——steven E.

期刊介绍： International Security publishes lucid, well-documented essays on the full range of contemporary security issues. Its articles address traditional topics of war and peace, as well as more recent dimensions of security, including environmental, demographic, and humanitarian issues, transnational networks, and emerging technologies. International Security has defined the debate on US national security policy and set the agenda for scholarship on international security affairs for more than forty years. The journal values scholarship that challenges the conventional wisdom, examines policy, engages theory, illuminates history, and discovers new trends. Readers of IS discover new developments in: The causes and prevention of war U.S.-China relations Great power politics Ethnic conflict and intra-state war Terrorism and insurgency Regional security in Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America U.S. foreign and defense policy International relations theory Diplomatic and military history Cybersecurity and defense technology Political economy, business, and security Nuclear proliferation.
