From the Managing Editor

Dear Colleagues:   I would like to take this time to introduce myself as the new Managing Editor of American Review of Politics. I was honored to receive the opportunity from Dr. Justin Wert to take over management of the journal and work alongside him and others in editing the journal. I have been absorbed over the past month not only learning the proud history of ARP but more so in learning the newly updated servers and software. I am greatly indebted to David Corbly, Jen Waller, and our publishing partners at the University of Oklahoma Libraries for their help and patience while I learn the process and for their help with the journal's transition to the new servers.    As the American Review of Politics moves steadily forward, I have the highest confidence in the continuing quality of our submissions, the increase in readership, and the hard work of our authors and reviewers. I will be working diligently in the coming months to expand our reviewer pool, as I am already seeing quality submissions continue to arrive. As always, please continue to promote ARP among both colleagues and graduate students.   I am excited to work closely with all of you, authors, reviewers, and readers alike, as ARP moves confidently forward. If I can be of any help, please don't hesitate to contact me, either directly or through the website.    With warmest regards and profound thanks,   Daniel P. Brown, Ph.D
