NOTICE TO ALL CONTRIBUTORS
NEW! In an effort to conserve
resources, we ask contributors to send in only electronic versions
of their papers, unless we specifically ask for hard copies. We
attempt to use only electronic copies until a paper is unconditionally
accepted for publication -- at that point, we will ask for two
hard copies.
All manuscripts must be double-spaced, including
quotations and endnotes, and should contain no references to the
author's identity, including in the notes.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE INSERT PAGE NUMBERS IN THE MANUSCRIPT!
Note: At the time of submitting your manuscript, please
also send us by email an abstract of your paper (approx. 400 words),
a biographical note (no longer than 250 words), and a list of
3-7 keywords for your paper.
If there are images in your paper, please also submit an ART LOG
(see the section on Images below) at the time of initial submission.
DISK FORMAT
A number of word processing programs are not appropriate for your
submission, as they are not compatible with our conversion capabilities.
For this reason, we require submissions (e-mail attachments) in
Microsoft Word 5.0 (or higher versions) for Macintosh or PC. If
we are unable to open your document we will contact you and request
that you re-send your e-version.
PAGE FORMAT
All footnotes must be converted to endnotes. Use a standard font
(such as Times or Times Roman) in a standard font size (12 point).
Avoid changing font size within the manuscript, for such elements
as headings, block quotes, and endnotes. Please ensure that your
entire manuscript -- including the endnotes, references, and block
quotes within the essay -- is double-spaced, with standard 1-inch
margins at the top and bottom and 1.25-inch margins on the right
and left.
PAGE LIMITS
Please note our new policy on page limits: due to the current
conditions in the publishing world page limits are no longer negotiable
and we expect that essays will rarely exceed 30 typeset pages,
including notes (about 11,000 words or 70,000 characters with
spaces).
Thank you very
much for following these guidelines. This will facilitate the
processing and editing of your manuscript by the editorial staff.
If you have any questions about the formatting requirements, please
contact the Managing Editorial Assistant.

ABBREVIATIONS
Acronyms, national and supranational abbreviations, roman numerals
in the names of royalty, and other groups of capital letters appear
in small caps. Most abbreviations pronounced as individual letters
are preceded by the definite article; those that designate companies
and acronyms are not.

Abbreviations of Latin
phrases, such as cf., e.g., i.e., and ibid., are romanized, and
most of them appear only in parenthetical text or in endnotes.

This essay was
first presented as a paper at the Center for Comparative Research
in History, Society, and Culture at the University of California,
Davis; I am grateful for the comments made at the gathering.
Some of the materials in this essay have also appeared in
the Australian Journal of Chinese Affairs.
Until a paper is unconditionally
accepted for publications, authors should avoid this section altogether,

COMMENTARIES
Commentaries are reflections on, interventions into, or theoretical
analyses of historical, literary, political, or other cultural institutions
and phenomena. They run from about 2,000 to about 8,000 words and
vary in form from open letters to fully documented, article-like
essays.

DOCUMENTATION
Bibliographic citations are provided in endnotes. Full bibliographic
information, including the author's full name and the subtitle,
if any, accompanies the first citation of a work; a shortened
citation is used thereafter. If two or more works by the same
author are cited consecutively in a single note, the author's
surname alone is repeated for the second and subsequent works.
In citations of journal articles, the issue number appears after
the volume number, if each issue is paginated separately, or in
lieu of the volume number if the journal is not published in volumes.
The month or season and the year are always given as well.

or literature.

EPIGRAPHS
Not part of the text and therefore usually not documented as sources.
Full bibliographic information is not provided. The attribution
includes the author's name and may include the title of the work
and the date of publication as well.

To line up Okinawans
with Taiwanese savages (seiban) and Hokkaido Ainu is to view
the Okinawans, who are truly Japanese, as one of these. No matter
how insensitive Okinawans may be, we can never put up with this
kind of humiliation.

EXTRACTS
Prose quotations longer than six manuscript lines and verse quotations
longer than two manuscript lines are set off from the surrounding
text. Shorter quotations may be set off if, in the author's judgment,
their significance would be less apparent otherwise. If the first
line of a verse quotation is incomplete, its placement should approximate
that of the original; an omitted line is indicated by a line of
dots equal in length to the previous line.

the original or the translation--is enclosed in brackets.

FONTS
Use a standard font (such as Times or Times Roman) in a standard
font size (12 point). Avoid changing font size within the manuscript
to indicate different elements such as subheadings and extracts.
FOOTNOTES /
ENDNOTES
All notes must appear as endnotes, but with Arabic numerals.
IMAGES
We prefer to not have the images embedded in the paper but, rather,
submitted separately. Please place a "call out" in the
form of <Figure 1> where the image must
appear in the text but do not present the actual image or the
caption in the text.
Images must
be sent in separately--as .jpg or .gif files.
IMAGE CAPTIONS
All captions--those that identify figures by number only
as well as those that contain text--must be provided in a separate
document or at the end of the manuscript, in an art log.
The art log must also contain information about each image's placement
in the text.
For example,
The running text will contain this information:
Businessmen are
sometimes referred to as "astronauts" (Cant tai
hong yan) because they are constantly "in orbit,"
caught between the desires to establish family residency
abroad and to make money in Hong Kong. <Figure

The art log will accompany
the manuscript, with information for each image. Please type into
the document rather than write by hand. For example,

office.

permissions for the images is solely the author's responsibility.

TERMS
See also TRANSLATIONS
Whether critical, literary, philosophical, and other terms are
capitalized, and which ones are capitalized, depends on the author's
argument as well as on journal precedent. Similarly, whether non-English
terms are italicized, and which ones are italicized, depends on
the author's assessment of their familiarity to the reader as
well as on journal precedent. Neologisms and other thoughtful
turns of phrase that bring new or unexpected meanings to a discourse
are acceptable. Individual terms are treated consistently throughout
a given article but not necessarily throughout a given issue.
cold war or Cold War
new world order or New World Order
orientalist or Orientalist
other or Other

A term
referred to as the term itself is italicized.

TITLE
AND BYLINE
The title and the author's name (in the final version of the accepted
manuscript) must appear in serif font, single space, with no line
space between the title and the author's name.
Both title and author's name must be aligned to the left with the
title on top in bold-faced type, as shown below. Please note that
upon initial submission and until a paper has been accepted, the
identity of the author should appear only on the cover sheet of
the manuscript, if there is one (do not include name in headers,
footers, or footnotes unless the reference is in the third person)
to ensure and maintain the anonymity of the author throughout the
review process.

TRANSLATIONS
See also EXTRACTS
When an original non-English title and its translation appear
together in the text, the first version--whether it is the original
or the translation--takes the form of the original title, and
the second version is enclosed in brackets. If the second version
is the translated title, as in the first pair of examples below,
it is romanized, and only the first word and proper nouns are
capitalized. If the second version is the original title, as in
the second pair of examples, it retains the form of an original
title.
