The Bulletin is a progressive, independent quarterly on modern and contemporary Asia and on Asia's regional and global relations. Published regularly since 1968, the Bulletin began in opposition to the war in Southeast Asia in an effort to counteract the complicity of silence of our profession regarding the U.S. role in that war. It continues to strive for a humane understanding of Asian peoples and their efforts to maintain their cultural integrity while confronting such problems as poverty, oppression, and imperialism. In the process it also explores outside involvement in Asia and large-scale social change, often challenging the accepted formulas for understanding Asia, the world, and ourselves.
