The Bureau of International Information Programs of the
U.S. Department of State publishes a monthly electronic
journal under the eJournal USA logo. These journals
examine major issues facing the United States and the
international community, as well as U.S. society, values,
thought, and institutions.
One new journal is published monthly in English and is
followed by versions in French, Portuguese, Russian, and
Spanish. Selected editions also appear in Arabic, Chinese,
and Persian. Each journal is catalogued by volume and
number.
The opinions expressed in the journals do not necessarily
reflect the views or policies of the U.S. government. The
U.S. Department of State assumes no responsibility for
the content and continued accessibility of Internet sites
to which the journals link; such responsibility resides
solely with the publishers of those sites. Journal articles,
photographs, and illustrations may be reproduced and
translated outside the United States unless they carry
explicit copyright restrictions, in which case permission
must be sought from the copyright holders noted in the
journal.
The Bureau of International Information Programs
maintains current and back issues in several electronic
