Editorial Appeal

The Independent Scholars' Initiative is searching for volunteer editors who will solicit critical reviews and concise articles oriented primarily, though not exclusively, to the following themes: Eurasian political and economic history; economic sociology; monetary theory; and analysis of international investment vehicles. Critiques of millitary strategic planning, considered as a dependent variable of economic development, will also be welcomed. Eurasia will be understood to comprise Japan, China, the Koreas, India, Pakistan, and Islamic states from Bangladesh to the Mediterranean. It will not normally include Islamic African states, or Oceana. Contributions will be considered in major European languages using the Latin alphabet. Contributions may also be transmitted in Cyrillic scrlpt. Irrelevant contributions or epistles will be summarily deleted. As the Russian historian V.O. Kliuchevsky advised, "Let the research be long, and the report be short." August 20, 2008
