The MIT Press is delighted to announce the launch of a new quarterly journal, Innovations: Technology / Governance / Globalization. It is fundamental nature of innovations as a starting point for addressing global policy challenges.

"This is a journal about how people use technology to address major societal challenges," comment editors Philip Auerswald and Iqbal Quadir. "It is less about what needs to be done, and more
about what people are doing. By focusing on practice, Innovations
complements existing journals by cutting across academic disciplines and linking human action with global impact."

Technology increasingly defines the manner in which people relate
to each other; when technologies change, relationships change.
Innovations addresses the creative actions of social entrepreneurs, inventors, public leaders and others who use technology not only to change relationships, but to transform
governance. Each issue of Innovations presents:

* An invited essay on the topic of technology and governance in a global context

* Practitioner-focused narratives of in collaboration with, the innovators themselves

* Peer-reviewed research articles that link meaningful indicators of the impact of innovations

* Analyses of policy and innovations by national governments and transnational organizations, presenting perspectives on policy innovations

It is through the exchange of ideas concerning the innovations of
today that better solutions to provide a forum that encourages this ongoing conversation.
