Editor’s PrEfaCE

Entering its sixth year, our journal has undoubtedly accumulated a vari-

ety of unexpected developments. While it is true that a great proportion

of them are strong calls for the introduction of serious eorts geared

toward its improvement, many also attest to the progress that has been

made. And so in addition to the many lessons that we need to learn, we

have also learned our lessons well in the process. Moreover, should one

take into account the origin of this journal, it is fair to view its survival

into sixth year as a commendable feat. us, the take-home message

from this journal is that there is still some room for anyone (outside

of the establishment) to make serious contribution. Going further, it is

no exaggeration to say that voices from the non-developed world can

utilize our journal to stir the debate, and get better and more represen-

tation. In many respects, it is the ultimate objective of this journal to

generate a greater variety of scholarly opinions for a global audience.

e publication of the sixth volume of our journal can be interpreted as

our steadfast commitment to that goal.
