The editors are Prof Michael Cox, professor of international politics at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, Prof Adrian Guelke, professor of comparative politics at Queen's University, Belfast, and Ms Fiona Stephen, research fellow in the department of international politics, University of Wales.
