An online interactive web magazine, bcゲーム アンロックuot;Discuss Japan--Japan Foreign Policy Forumbcゲーム アンロックuot; (http://www.japanpolicyforum.jp/),was launched November 26 to disseminate viewpoints and arguments relating to Japan's foreign policies in both English and Chinese, with the aim of deepening global understanding of Japan and heightening its international presence.
The web journal uncovers and publishes a variety of policy papers, opinion pieces, analyses, critiques, interviews and panel discussions presented by intellectuals and experts in such fields as diplomacy, politics, economics, society and culture. It also takes over the content of its predecessor bcゲーム アンロックuot;Japan Echo Web.bcゲーム アンロックuot;
The interactive website also presents a forum for global discussions as it features a social networking function to enable experts and other designated people to contribute comments on published articles.
Its content will be updated regularly to spur discussions on the most pressing topics. The inaugural edition highlights bcゲーム アンロックuot;the Senkaku issue'' and features an interview with Japanese Deputy Prime Minister Katsuya Okada, panel discussions by experts, various opinion pieces, and opinion surveys.
The journal, like its predecessor, is commissioned by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. But an independent bcゲーム アンロックuot;Editorial Boardbcゲーム アンロックuot; of private-sector experts has been newly established to solely determine the content and management policy of the website.
The Genron NPO, a Japanese nonprofit independent think tank, serves as the secretariat of the board. bcゲーム アンロック, Japan's leading international news agency with a global readership and network, is commissioned to handle English and Chinese translations and to operate the website.
