Dear All,

The editors of Juth Pakai, an academic journal dedicated to
issues of development in Laos, would like to call your
attention to their 8 on-line issues, as well as the latest in
development studies in Laos. Please see:
http://www.undplao.org/newsroom/juthpakai.php

The journal initiative “Juth Pakai, Perspectives on Lao
Development”, launched in February 2004, is supported by the
UN Country Team in Lao PDR. Juth Pakai (translated as New
Thinking in Lao) aims to stimulate dialogue on relevant
development topics in Lao PDR, by disseminating existing
knowledge, serving as a forum where analytical and critical
thinking on development issues and challenges can be shared,
and by promoting the exchange of knowlege and expertise. Juth
Pakai will also help promote and advance the goals and
commitments embodied in the Millennium Declaration.

Juth Pakai creates new and on-going collaborative
opportunities with educational centers, researchers and
research institutions as well as organizations interested in
Lao PDR. Juth Pakai plays an instrumental role in broadening
the audience for development related research and learning
related to Lao PDR, thereby creating a better understanding of
development challenges and opportunities in Lao PDR.

The Journal seeks full academic essays and/or “Letters to the
Editor” from the development community, including development
practitioners, government officials, staff from bilateral and
multilateral agencies and NGOs, journalists, academics,
researchers and anyone with keen interests in Lao PDR. Click

The Journal is published three times a year, both in English
and in Lao languages.
