Dear Reader,

The ASIAN STUDIES WWW MONITOR
(including all its subsidiary (and/or sister) pages on "coombs.anu.edu.au" server) has permanently ceased its publishing operations on Friday 21st January 2011.

All of the online resources reported here have been thoroughly checked at the time of their listing. However, it is possible that, with the with the passage of time, many of the originally reported materials might have been removed from the Internet, or changed their online address, or varied the scope and quality of their contents.

Fortunately, in several cases it is possible to access many of the older versions of the resources listed in the MONITOR. This can be easily done via the free services of the "The Internet Archive" http://web.archive.org/, a remarkable brainchild of Brewster Kahle, San Francisco, CA.

- with warm regards -

Self-description:
"Since 1981, the Association [Die Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Asienkunde (DGA), German Association of Asian Studies - ed.] has been publishing the quarterly journal "ASIEN: German Journal for Politics, Economy and Culture", to improve the dissemination of information on Asia. The journal covers the region comprising the countries of Pakistan and India in the West to China, Japan, and the South Pacific in the East. It is concerned with contemporary issues and problems of the regions. It has a circulation of 1,000 copies. On an average, every issue consists of 180 pages and contains around 4 scholarly articles. Compared with other journals, ASIEN clearly stands out because of its meticulously detailed information sections on conference reports, research projects, book reviews, new literature as well as the biannually published complete list of all academic lectures and seminars on Asia in the German speaking countries."
