Introduction
We're pleased to announce that as of 2008, commencing Volume 34, Palgrave Macmillan will publish the Eastern Economic Journal on behalf of the Eastern Economic Association.
The editorial operation of the Eastern Economic Journal will continue unchanged. Submissions will continue to be subject to the same rigorous peer-review and assessment as has always been the case. The Eastern Economic Journal will now benefit, however, from the advanced online availability and web functionality that Palgrave Macmillan utilizes. The Journal will also receive enhanced visibility worldwide and a new design.
