From the Editor’s desk
Dear Readers,
Dear Members of the Editorial Board,
Dear Members of the Advisory Board,
Dear Publishers,
Dear Colleagues,
Sofia, 30 June 2023,
Some six years ago, we established In Statu Nascendi. – Journal of Political Philosophy and International Relations. This marked the beginning of one of the most productive, dynamic, and fascinating periods in my professional career. I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to serve you in my current capacity, for I’ve enjoyed my time here to the fullest.
I will always cherish this experience, for what we have managed to achieve together in such a short period of time has surpassed my wildest expectations. I am particularly thankful to the people who comprised an integral part of this periodical, our readers, authors, members of the editorial board, academic advisors, editors, copyeditors, translators, proofreaders, fine-tuners, and naturally, our publisher. All of you did an incredible job! Thanks to your hard work, dedication, and professionalism, we published six incredible volumes, contributing immensely to expanding our conceptual and ontological horizons. So, in my last act as an editor of In Statu Nascendi, I would like to congratulate you for your amazing achievement of being instrumental in helping to publish almost 150 robust academic articles and some of the most fascinating book reviews, for I am certain that their influence will resonate in the decades to come. Well done!
I would also like to kindly inform you that I recently decided to vacate the position of editor-in-chief of In Statu Nascendi. This wasn’t an easy decision, but it was necessary due to an increase in my other professional commitments. Sadly, we have not found a replacement for my position, and our editorial board decided to terminate the contract with the publisher. This ultimately means that the publication of this volume is this periodical’s final edition.
In a way, the dissolution of our editorial board is surely an unfortunate event, for it marks the Hegelian/Fukuyamian end of this periodical’s existence as we know it. But I am very optimistic about what the future holds, for it is only natural for us to continue on the path that we embarked upon in 2017. The end of this project does not mean that we will stop testing the more established doctrines, approaches, theories, and paradigms that are too often considered to be unquestionable or absolute. On the contrary, our network will continue the journey that aims to dig deeper into the essence of our existence. Indeed, the spirit of our network dictates that we contribute to the main currents of the academic debates of the future, for we know that we still have a lot of work to do when it comes to fighting dogma, misinformation, and various forms of bias and prejudice that also exist in the academic world.
Ultimately, the end of this project marks just the beginning of our non-profit’s speedy transition to In Statu Nascendi - Think Thank, which will continue to positively surprise you in the decades to come, for it is designed to provide advice and ideas on specific issues related to geoeconomic, political, and socio-economic problems. We perform research and advocacy concerning international law, social policy, political strategy, economics, military technology, artificial intelligence, green technology, and culture.
In other words, I would like to signal that as an organization we are now ready to move beyond the stage of becoming, recollect our experience, and approach it from a totally different, more mature perspective.
Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors.
Yours sincerely,
Piotr Pietrzak, Ph.D.
Former Editor-in-Chief of In Statu Nascendi
