Romania’s democracy is back from the brink (for now).

We’re launching this track after a year of editorial experience. While aiming to publish excellent work, we’ve seen strong but focused papers struggle in review. This track is meant to support theory- or empirics-heavy work and shift reviewer expectations accordingly.

Using "Protecting Jews" as an excuse to do awful things is a form of antisemitism; it encourages people to treat Jews with disdain and makes us much less safe.
