Editorial statement: Why do we need a European Journal of Government and Economics?. European Journal of Government and Economics, 1(1), 5-8. https://doi.org/10.17979/ejge.2012.1.1.42732254-7088http://hdl.handle.net/2183/23334[Abstract] In this editorial statement we explain the reasons for the creation of the European Journal of Government and Economics. We argue that there is a general shortage of academic journals. Although the new journal we are starting will not solve or significantly reduce this problem, it will represent a marginal step in the right direction. We also explain our views regarding some important aspects of the journal’s policy, such as indexing and open access.engAtribución 4.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/journal articleopen access
