This article provides a critical and informed account of the first forty years in the history of the Community Development Journal. First published in 1966, the Journal has attempted to effectively reflect the changing and dynamic field of community development internationally. During the last four decades, the success of the CDJ has been due to the hard work of committed Editorial Board members. However, the Board has been conscious that being drawn almost wholly from the UK, there is the potential for the Journal's content to be focused in one country. The Board has addressed this possible problem by establishing themed issues on different world regions, on establishing an active International Editorial Advisory Board and through building relationships with organizations such as the International Association for Community Development. Nevertheless, there is a need to ensure these features are well maintained if the Journal is to continue to produce the leading international peer-reviewed journal it now is.
