Self-description:
"The SOAS Bulletin of Burma Research was established in 2003 by founding editor Dr. Michael W. Charney for the purpose of making available to the broader academic community research, resources, reviews, and information critical for the study of Burma, also known as Myanmar. The bulletin is one of three such publications, alongside the Journal of Burma Studies (Northern Illinois University) [http://www.cseas.niu.edu/seap/burmastudies.htm - ed.] and Burma Watch (Macquarie University) [It is, in fact, 'Burma Economic Watch' (Macquarie University) http://www.econ.mq.edu.au/burma_economic_watch, as distinct from 'Burma Watch', an US blog at http://blog.nationmultimedia.com/BurmaWatch - ed.]. Bulletin articles and documents are posted online immediately on issue for free downloading to anyone, anywhere, with an interest in the society, culture, and history of one of Asia's most interesting countries."
