With the publication of 44(1), we are now two years into our editorship of the Review of International Studies. We are proud of the articles that have been published in volume 43, and hope that you, the readers of the journal, have enjoyed the wide range of contributions our authors have made. It was a particular pleasure to publish the forum around Andrew Linklater’s work, Violence and Civilization, and we hope that the lively, critical contributions of the various authors have stimulated debate among you.

We are excited by the thought-provoking pieces that will appear in the 2018 volume, including in this issue. We are very much looking forward to publication of our special issue, ‘Misrecognition in World Politics’, with guest editors, Charlotte Epstein, Thomas Lindemann and Ole Jacob Sending. We will be sponsoring a roundtable at the BISA conference to showcase their work. As ever, we would like to extend our thanks to Reviewers and members of the Editorial Board for their invaluable help over the last 12 months, not least in selecting the Special Issue from the twenty-five excellent applications we received.

The journal’s Twitter feed now has over 3000 followers, and it is great to see articles published in RIS being promoted widely by our followers and by the journal’s readers. Please do continue to promote the journal and the work of our authors.

As part of our editorial commitment to strengthen dialogue and engagement with the global IR community, we will be holding a workshop at the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa around the theme of Populism in IR in September 2018. Our principal aim is for a dialogue between scholars from different parts of the world on the issue of Populism, and we hope to use this as the basis for publication of a special issue in 2019.
