Editor's Note.

After nearly three decades of initiating, editing and publishing the peer-reviewed I Digest of Middle East Studies i ( I DOMES i ), it is time to pass the mantle on to a new editor who can carry out the editorship tasks and responsibilities. In the course of its publishing history, I DOMES i has achieved high usage, high impact and high profile for the Policy Studies Organization (PSO). A.Kadir Yildirim (ay18@rice.edu), Fellow at the Center for Middle East Studies at Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy in Houston, Texas, will assume the editorship of I DOMES. i We wish the editor-designee, current and past members of I DOMES i editorial and advisory boards all the best.
