This volume marks an important milestone in the publication history of Studies in Law, Politics, and Society, our 60th volume and for me personally, the 50th volume which I have edited or co-edited. During this time interdisciplinary legal studies have mushroomed, now including scholars from law faculties, the social sciences, and the humanities. Throughout its history, the objective of Studies has been to provide a vehicle for the publication of scholarly articles within the broad parameters of interdisciplinary legal scholarship. While other law-related publications publish within a single domain: the humanities; social science; or legal doctrine, Studies seeks to bridge those divides. We encourage submissions from a broad range of legal scholars and welcome articles exemplifying different theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches. And, long before globalization was fashionable, Studies had already established itself as a venue for scholars from many different parts of the globe. Finally, as this particular volume on citizenship and the meaning of identity in the context of the law exemplifies, Studies combines theoretical sophistication and policy relevance, while never sacrificing the former for the latter. I look forward eagerly to a future in which Studies continues to lead the way in the development of a distinctively international and interdisciplinary brand of legal scholarship.
