| Summary/Abstract |
The idea to organize a forum on censorship—the control of information and ideas circulated within a society through the suppression of words and images—emerged among the editorial team in summer 2015. In July, the founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, gave an interview to the German news magazine Der Spiegel in which he suggested that English-speaking IR scholars are reluctant to use material made public by WikiLeaks for their research (Assange 2015).
