Letter from the Editor
The 2009 – 2010 academic year marks the Yale Journal of International Affairs’ fifth year in existence, and we are celebrating with a new approach to our mission. Established by graduate students in Yale’s MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies in 2004, in our first four years YJIA has published commentary from such renowned experts as David Brooks (Volume 1, Issue 1), Samantha Power (Volume 2, Issue 2), Robert Keohane (Volume 3, Issue 1), Joseph Stiglitz (Volume 3, Issue 2), and Tony Blair (Volume 4, Issue 2).
