We are pleased to inform you that the Journal of Globalization for the Common Good (www.commongoodjournal.com) has already established its niche and is gaining credibility and strength throughout the world. The positive and supportive comments that we have been receiving are most encouraging and indeed humbling.

 For this special issue, we personally invited a number of prominent authors, scholars, and civil society leaders to write on their areas of expertise relating to Globalization for the Common Good. The colleagues whose papers appear in this issue responded to our invitation by writing papers that are testimonials to our highly complex and diverse global environment. Our hope is that these articles will ultimately result in increased dialogue, cooperation, and collaboration across the globe.
