I don't have strong views either way, would be good to get some feedback from others re. possibility of having an "exceptional" (out-of-schedule) issue as discussed with George...?<br>

cheers<br>

Hi Mathieu,<br>
<br>
We're very glad to hear that our proposal is well received! Regarding<br>
the time-frame, however, we (meaning Vasilis and I) think that it<br>
might be better 'to treat this as a "one-off" exceptional issue and<br>
disregard the biannual schedule', thus speeding up the process. If<br>
doing so doesn't conflict with the planning of other JoPP activities,<br>
then I propose we go forward with the original plan: submission of<br>
papers by the end of March 2014 and release of the special issue in<br>
september 2014. What do you think: would that be possible?<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
-G.<br>

So, my first reaction is yes!, of course, a JoPP issue would make perfect sense, provided it does have some reflexive, self-critical elements (why Ecuador? what is the political economy there? etc).<br>
