EDITOR’S NOTE
Welcome to Dialogue issue 12! It’s our first issue of the new 2015-2016 academic year, meaning we’ve built up a new team- featuring members from last year and several new faces. My name is Naomi Roba, and I’m the new editor-in-chief for the coming year. I began as the Middle East editor, then content editor and took up this rewarding role in March 2015. Over the years Dialogue has grown on me for its diversity in topics, its balance in journalistic versus academic writing and above all for its vibrant team that makes every effort worthwhile. This issue has a cover story on European conflicts and security issues. Recent immigration crises in Europe particular have made this topic increasingly relevant, as we question not the role of state borders, security, economic repercussions and even the meaning of global justice. Although the first three sections of this issue are centered around Europe, this issue’s Africa section deserves special note as this section features two ambassador contributors. Above all, warm thank yous are in order. For the dedicated team, the support of the Politics Society, and above all for the department of Political Economy at KCL for making this all possible.
Happy Reading! Naomi Roba Editor-in-chief
