ASIAN SURVEY, which makes its first appearance with this num-
ber, is intended to serve functions not ordinarily served by
the scholarly quarterlies. Its main purpose is to provide
insights into current developments in Asia--to concern itself
as much with the topical foreground as with the background of
contemporary affairs.
Insofar as the availability of material permits, ASIAN
SURVEYwill present articles describing or analyzing current
affairs, reporting on significant research in progress, and
now and then presenting an English translation from the ver-
nacular of an important document. Shorter notes and comment
will be presented, as will occasional review articles. The
usual type of book review will be dispensed with. Correspon-
dence concerning matters inside or outside the magazine will
be published when appropriate. In short, ASIAN SURVEYwill
attempt to meet the needs of a broad readership by presenting
materials in many disciplines and concerning varied aspects
of the Asian scene.
ASIAN SURVEYis open to contributors who are qualified
to write interestingly and informatively about contemporary
Asian affairs from the vantage points of anthropology, econ-
omics, geography, modern history, politics, sociology, liter-
ature, the creative arts, or whatever. Articles ordinarily
should not exceed 2,500 words in length, should be succinct
rather than discursive, and should carry a minimum of foot-
notes in their baggage. Shorter contributions will be equally
welcome, as will reports on research in progress or in pros-
pect, and particularly reports based on relatively prolonged
research in the field.
Inquiries may be sent to the Editor. So may subscrip-
tions, at $6. for one year (12 issues) in the United States
and Canada, and at $7. elsewhere.
