Dear Colleagues,

We are very pleased to announce that Dr Duncan Kelly, fellow of Jesus College and university senior lecturer in political theory at the University of Cambridge, has joined us as an editor of the journal.

Duncan is a scholar of wide accomplishment in the history of political thought, with notable geographical scope and chronological sweep. He is the author of two books, The State of the Political: Conceptions of Politics and the State in the Thought of Max Weber, Carl Schmitt and Franz Neumann (Oxford University Press, 2003), and most recently The Propriety of Liberty: Persons, Passions and Judgement in Modern Political Thought (Princeton, 2010). He has also edited Lineages of Empire: The Historical Roots of British Imperial Thought (Oxford University Press, 2009). He taught earlier at the University of Sheffield, and is a fellow of the Royal Historical Society.

Duncan is already at work as a journal editor, and you should feel free to contact him about editorial matters.

Sincerely,

Charles Capper
