IO 70th Anniversary Archive Collection 5. 1997-2001: Peter Gourevitch and David A. Lake
INTRODUCTION
During our five years as co-editors, we had the good fortune of receiving many excellent submissions. The work of our predecessors, particularly Bob Keohane, Peter Katzenstein, and Steve Krasner, created the structure IO still enjoys: high academic standing, intellectual openness, an efficient but rigorous review process, timely editorial response, and valuable feedback to authors. Our immediate predecessor, John Odell, significantly broadened the substantive scope of the journal, making it into a "full service" outlet for research on all facets of world politics. The result was a constant stream of excellent submissions.We aspired to navigate the flow rather than chart a new channel. Nonetheless, mostly reflecting changes then underway in the field, submissions and then published articles started to include more formal and quantitative research, presenting new challenges in recruiting excellent reviewers. During our tenure, we were proud to publish outstanding articles on an incredibly wide range of topics from diverse theoretical perspectives and using varied methodologies.
