May we begin by wishing the EJIR Happy Birthday! The year 2020 is the silver jubilee of the journal’s founding in 1995. After 25 years this journal holds as important a place as ever in the pantheon of the general International Relations (IR) literature. Our readers may expect a special jubilee issue later this year. Our last editorial, which accompanied the June 2019 issue, announced the advent of the first complete issue consisting of articles edited by the Amsterdam editorial team that took over in January 2018. Since then we have produced three further issues including this current one for March 2020. This issue leads with an article on the lack of great power responsibility for the global environment, followed by an article on sovereign debt markets. There is then a cluster of articles on identity and populism in various contexts, before the issue returns to that grim business called war. The final article takes a new but equally serious turn, focusing on the international context of the London Grenfell Towers fire. Our authors are a truly cosmopolitan selection from all over the globe, and they both cover and broaden the field as it evolves. We hope you will agree that we are keeping up the high standards in terms of scholarly quality and intellectual openness our readership should expect and that has established the reputation of the journal during these past 25 years. The summer and autumn of 2019 were periods of high pressure and change at the journal. In the latter half of the year we saw a significant surge in submissions relative to the year before and the first half of the year. This is good, but it demands more of our time. We also experienced the first of two changes in the editorial team. Prof Marlies Glasius, our Associate Editor for international law (also human rights, human security, transitional justice, social movements and NGOs, authoritarianism and democratisation), became our head of department here in Amsterdam as of September 2019. The resulting workload being incompatible with remaining associate editor, she stepped down at the beginning of September 2019. This meant that in the face of the surge, we were also short-handed as a team. Some authors will have waited longer for decisions than we either intended or believe corresponds to good practice, but our first concern was to maintain the quality of editorial work even if that meant the accumulation of a backlog until we could find a replacement colleague. Marlies will be sorely missed, not only due to the breadth of her expertise. Her contribution to the editorial team consisted always of that sort of passionate concern for dispassionate consideration of other people’s work that helped us all form and improve our own editorial skills. Marlies was also willing openly to reconsider positions and policies where practice revealed this as necessary, yet never such that pragmatism was ascendant over sound principle. As our lead editor points out, one could, if the pressure 907411 EJT0010.1177/1354066120907411European Journal of International RelationsEditorial editorial2020

让我们首先祝愿EJIR生日快乐！2020年是该杂志成立于1995年的银禧纪念日。25年后，该杂志在一般国际关系（IR）文献中占据着前所未有的重要地位。我们的读者可能会在今年晚些时候看到特别的禧年刊。我们的上一篇社论（伴随2019年6月发行）宣布了第一期完整发行的问世，该发行包括由阿姆斯特丹编辑团队编辑的文章，于2018年1月接管。此后，我们又制作了三期，包括当前的2020年3月期该问题的开头是一篇关于对全球环境缺乏大国责任的文章，其次是一篇关于主权债务市场的文章。在各种情况下，都有大量关于身份和民粹主义的文章，在问题再次回到所谓的战争这个严峻的问题之前。最后一篇文章采取了新的但同样严肃的态度，着眼于伦敦格林菲尔大厦火灾的国际背景。我们的作者是来自世界各地的真正国际化大家庭，他们涵盖并拓宽了该领域的发展。我们希望您会同意，我们将保持读者期望的学术质量和知识开放性方面的高标准，并在过去25年中树立了该杂志的声誉。2019年夏季和秋季是期刊的高压和变化时期。在下半年，与前一年和上半年相比，我们看到了提交的大量增加。很好，但这需要我们花费更多时间。我们还经历了编辑团队的两项变革中的第一项。我们的国际法（也是人权，人类安全，过渡司法，社会运动和非政府组织，威权主义和民主化）的副主编Marlies Glasius教授自2019年9月起成为我们在阿姆斯特丹的部门主管。由此产生的工作量与她仍然是副主编，于2019年9月开始辞职。这意味着，面对人数激增，我们也缺乏人手。有些作者等待决定的时间比我们预期的或认为符合良好实践的时间要长，但是我们的首要考虑是保持编辑工作的质量，即使那意味着要积压工作直到我们找到替代同事为止。玛丽将被深深怀念，不仅由于她的专业知识广度。她对编辑团队的贡献始终是出于对他人工作的热情洋溢的关注，这种热情帮助我们所有人形成并提高了自己的编辑技能。马里斯还愿意公开地重新考虑立场和政策，在实践中认为这样做是必要的，但决不能使实用主义在稳健原则上占上风。正如我们的主编指出的那样，如果压力907411 EJT0010.1177 / 1354066120907411欧洲国际关系杂志社论社论2020 马里斯还愿意公开地重新考虑立场和政策，在实践中认为这样做是必要的，但决不能使实用主义在稳健原则上占上风。正如我们的主编指出的那样，如果压力907411 EJT0010.1177 / 1354066120907411欧洲国际关系杂志社论社论2020 马里斯还愿意公开地重新考虑立场和政策，在实践中认为这样做是必要的，但决不能使实用主义在稳健原则上占上风。正如我们的主编指出的那样，如果压力907411 EJT0010.1177 / 1354066120907411欧洲国际关系杂志社论社论2020
