The online journal is available at *AHIF Policy Journal* website, http://www.ahifworld.org/journal-issues <https://ahiworld.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a5a3cf4266af40851f5a6fd84&id=374fd60e9c&e=bf2ed43199> With this issue the social policy journal of the AHI Foundation takes on the formal name the *American Journal of Contemporary Hellenic Issues.* The journal is a forum for commentary and scholarship on issues of vital importance to Greek Americans. In his introduction to the current issue, editor Dan Georgakas writes of the pressing foreign policy issues facing the United States, Greece, and Cyprus and their neighbors in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Balkans. Georgakas states, “The foreign policy of Turkey under Recep Tayyip Erdogan continues to be a disruptive force in the Eastern Mediterranean, manifesting itself in designs on Thrace, violations of Greek air space, opposition to the unification of Cyprus, and military actions against American allies such as the Kurds. The first two essays in this issue focus on the international agreements currently in force that spell out the rule of law in the Eastern Mediterranean. Nicholas Karambelas, legal counsel to and a director of the American Hellenic Institute, reviews the treaties relating to this region from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present time. Theodore Kariotis, who was a member of Greek delegation to the UN Conference on the Law of the Sea writes about the legal definitions regarding how far off-shore rights extend with special attention to Greek islands adjacent to mainland Turkey.” Here is a list of the articles. - *The Treaties of the Aegean Sea: Clash of Nationalisms by * *Nicholas G.
