Editor's Note

Editor's Note © Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, 2008 DOI: 10.1163/156852008X287521 Journal of the Economic and Social History f the Orient 51 (2008) 1 www.brill.nl/jesho Editor’s Note For the readers of JESHO the fiftieth anniversary of our journal may have passed unnoticed. In this issue, however, former editor Harriet Zurndorfer will bring the founding father’s early mission to mind and reflect on its ongoing relevance. As the current editor I can only but confirm that JESHO’s future critically depends on it’s capacity to connect and compare, in a truly global setting, the breathtaking achievements of five decades of increased specialization and ongoing sophistication in the study of Asian regions. As has been earlier announced, this summer we will duly celebrate JESHO ’s jubilee with a Leiden conference on “Empires and Emporia: Th e Orient in World-Historical Space and Time.” Th e results of this event will reverberate in one or even two special issues in 2009. Still this year, JESHO will offer a fifth issue comprising a new index of volumes 1-51. At about the same time, we will present a separate volume with highlights of fifty years of JESHO on the past and probably future economic giants China and India. Th e current and the following issues of JESHO will create more space for scholarly debate in the form of critical review articles that focus on important, fruit-bearing new studies (this issue) and review notes that explore promising new directions in, or connections to, specific fields or area stud- ies. Since JESHO aims to stimulate connections and comparisons across regions, the review section will occasionally pay attention to important monographs of more general interest and/or those relating to the African and European “fringes” of the Orient. Overall, though, JESHO will remain the major forum for the more detailed and more specialized, source-oriented studies concerning the economic and social history of the “Orient.” Jos Gommans http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of the Economic and Social History of the Orient Brill
