journal’s future. I am very pleased about this decision, and look forward to 
moving the EJDR into the top five development journals.”

Thomas Lawo, Executive Secretary of EADI, said, "Partnering with Palgrave 
Macmillan opens a new chapter in the publication and communication strategy 
of EADI. Aiming for highest standards of research and analysis in development 
and area studies, we count on the EJDR and its new publisher to take us to 
the next level. A stronger European voice is needed in the policy debate at 
national, regional and global levels, and EADI, in co-operation with Palgrave 
Macmillan, will continue to be a passionate contributor to this debate."

OR Insight is a quarterly periodical, now in its twenty-first year. Its aim is to 
provide an interesting and stimulating publication which appeals not only to

delighted with this deal with Palgrave Macmillan.  Their involvement will enable 
us to spread the word about OR in practice to all corners of the globe. We’ll all 
be working incredibly hard to meet the ambitious plans we’ve put in place.”
