This year, the Georgetown Public Policy Review made the decision to transition all editorial content online for the first time. Therefore, in honor of the 2016 Spring Edition making its digital debut this spring, we want to take this opportunity to bring attention to our most recent edition of the Georgetown Public Policy Review’s Spring publication. The previous staff assembled an outstanding lineup of authors, with a cohesive collection of papers on the important, and often overlooked, subject of regulatory policy. Whether it is through a domestic or international policy lens, these authors provide ways to evaluate the role of regulatory mechanisms and their political implications. Their dedication to thorough analysis and informed policy insight carries on GPPR’s mission to ask the tough questions and emphasize the public in public policy, a goal we plan to continue with “Post-Millennial”, our digital, interactive, and data-driven spring publication set for next year.
We wish to thank the 2014-2015 staff and Editorial Board for their vision and hard work in putting together this edition. We send our sincere gratitude to the authors who contributed to the 2015 Spring Edition, and their support for the McCourt School.
Sincerely,
Erin Mullally
