EDITORIAL STATEMENT


POLITICAL THEORY fills a long existing need for a journal   of political
philosophy  that is broad  in scope and  international in coverage. The
absence of such  a journal was especially unfortunate because dialogue is
essential for the practice of political philosophy.
   To  further the development and  exchange of political ideas, POLITI-
CAL   THEORY will avoid exclusive identification with any particular
school  or orientation. The  editorial board is truly representative and
international and special efforts will be made to publish valuable articles
from  throughout the world.
   POLITICAL   THEORY will   have at least four essays an issue in different
areas, including history of political thought, modern theory, conceptual
analysis, and polemic argumentation. In addition, there will be a section
specifically reserved for competent articles from graduate students so that
they can  become  engaged in the publication of their work much  earlier
than is presently the case. Periodically, a special issue devoted exclusively
to  a single topic will also appear. A Review   Discussions section will
consider one  or at most two recently published works that have unusual
significance for political philosophy. The books  will be discussed by
several contributors, each representing a different point of view. Books-in-
Review  will treat noteworthy  books  published in political theory and
related areas. Also, certain eminent authors will be asked to review their
own  books, thereby finding an opportunity to respond to criticisms and to
reassess the extent to which the book met their own objectives. Finally, a
