In theory our editorial stint is almost up. With the next number of Interrogations, in fact, the two planned years of « Italian management» which have followed two preceding ones of « French management » come to an end. Now the magazine should pass to an editorial group in another country. The idea behind this rotation, as we said, is the desire to avoid the creation of useless professionals: to live up fully to its dual character of an international and a research magazine, Interrogations cannot remain tied for too long to the editorial viewpoints, skills and shortcomings of a single group. This is the theory. In practice, unfortunately, we have to acknowledge that at the moment the transference of responsabilities presents various difficulties which make us apprehensive that, perhaps, it will not be possible to bring it about by the previously arranged date. More precisely, we have to recognise that the libertarian movement still shows itself more disposed to the « consumption » of Interrogations than to active participation in its realization. (By the way, we sent a list of questions to every subscriber. We ask other readers also to send to us in few words their opinions, criticisms, suggestions, ... in view of the next annual meeting of collaborators). Does this mean that the « Italian management» wf]l carry on? For how long and in what ways? This is the problem we face. We expect to be able to give readers definite information in the next number. A few words about the articles presented in this number. Eduardo Colombo's work («Des ideologies complementaires pour les nouveaux patrons ») is another contribution from the Venice Conference on the New Bosses, and represents an attempt at direction-finding amongst the varied and of ten mystified ideological manifestations of the technobureaucracy. Claudio Venza's article touches, for the first time in Interrogations, on the theme of military power in Italy. We expect to return to this topic in the future, to give readers as complete an analysis as possible of the technobureaucratic nature of the Armed Forces in this country. Then in English we publish the second part of Nino Staffa's text (Technobureaucracy and city life) and, in Spanish, a text by Enrique Gutierrez on the Bolivian situation. We have available a Franch translation of this last article, which has been published in booklet by NOIR (Geneve) and we can send it to anyone interested in its publication. 6
