January 2004 :

From the Editor

Susan W. Furukawa

Happy Year of the Monkey! In 2004, the East Asian Studies Center is experimenting with a slightly different newsletter format. In the past we have included a “Spotlight On...” ways that East Asian Studies has reached out and formed connections with various departments at Indiana University. This year, we would like to expand the scope of our spotlight to the world beyond the gates of I.U. by inviting specialists on East Asia to write articles addressing current issues in East Asia. The first of these is written by East Asian Studies Center Associate Director Jacques Fuqua, a retired U.S. Army Lt. Colonel who spent the latter part of his career in Japan and Korea. Jacques taught a course called “East Asia and Global Security” at I.U. Bloomington this past fall. We look forward to hearing your comments on this new addition (easc@indiana.edu).
