An interdisciplinary, refereed journal of Bhutanese studies published by the Centre for Bhutan Studies. The editorial board was formed in 1999 with the aims of (a) giving Bhutanese scholars a chance to have their material published and critically discussed along with contributions from Western academics in the field and (b) making different aspects of Bhutan better known to the outside world. It serves as a forum for students and scholars from both the East and the West, and makes available in Bhutan itself more of the research done on the area. The journal was conceived to appeal to scholars from a number of disciplines, and submissions of material relating to Assam, the Himalayas in relation to Bhutan and on natural sciences as well as economy are actively encouraged.
