The journal\u2019s Editorial Board\u00a0would like to inform the academic community about some important developments in the structure, coverage and organization of the journal.<\/p>\n<p>First, as of 2018, Brill will increase the frequency of\u00a0<em>Polis<\/em>\u00a0from two issues to three issues annually. This will offer authors the opportunity to publish their work in a distinguished journal in a timely fashion; furthermore, the additional issue will allow\u00a0<em>Polis<\/em>\u00a0to publish more book reviews for a field of scholarship that has experienced a robust growth over the last few decades.<\/p>\n<p>Second,\u00a0<em>Polis<\/em>\u00a0will broaden its research domain to include articles on all aspects of Hellenistic and Roman political thought and their subsequent reception. Recent decades of scholarship have demonstrated that the Greek polis and civic political thought, far from dying at Chaironeia, remained vibrant in the centuries after Alexander, both preserving traditional features and developing in new directions.\u00a0<em>Polis<\/em>\u00a0will now provide a forum for debate about citizenship and civic ideals across the Hellenistic world. The new scope of the journal will also encourage studies, not only of the Greek\u00a0<em>polis<\/em>\u00a0across its history, but also of the different political structures and theories of both the Hellenistic dynasties and the Roman\u00a0<em>civitas<\/em>. The continuities and differences between all three forms of political institution offer fruitful opportunities for inquiry, both within each historical period, comparatively, and in relation to the reception of those institutions in subsequent historical periods. Our goal is to make\u00a0<em>Polis\u00a0<\/em>a preeminent source for theoretical, historical, and reception-orientated scholarship on both Greek and Roman political institutions and thinkers.<\/p>\n<p>Third, in conjunction with these important developments, three new associate editors have joined the editorial board: Carol Atack will oversee submissions on Greek political thought, Benjamin Gray will oversee submissions on Hellenistic political thought, and Daniel Kapust will oversee submissions on Roman political thought.<\/p>\n<p>Examples of\u00a0<em>Polis\u2019<\/em>\u00a0published scholarship can be found at the journal\u2019s website\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/%28www.brill.com\/agpt\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=http:\/\/%2528www.brill.com\/agpt&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1498234967342000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFiEFhGrhteXW1_adDNDrcyCSojAg\">(www.brill.com\/agpt<\/a>). The editorial board looks forward to publishing ground-breaking scholarship and book reviews\u00a0 not only on the polis, which gave birth to concepts such as democracy and tyranny, but also on the\u00a0<em>civitas<\/em>, which both developed and offered novel alternatives of political organization to the\u00a0<em>polis<\/em>. The scholarly field of Greek and Roman political thought has reached a level of sophistication and academic seriousness that calls for a journal commensurate with the academic promise of that field\u2019s scholars.\u00a0<em>Polis<\/em>\u00a0takes these major editorial steps in order that it become the preeminent source of publication for this exciting and growing research domain.<\/p>\n<p>Yours sincerely, with best wishes<\/p>\n<p>Executive Editor of Polis<\/p>\n<p>Kyriakos N.
