Description: The IIC Quarterly, initiated by the India International Centre in 1974, reaches over 2000 subscribers: government policy-makers, academics, concerned citizens and activists. Three issues are published annually, including a special double volume with a single theme, co-published with a reputed publishing house as a hard cover title. The Quarterly focuses on the core concerns of the IIC: international affairs, governance and development policies, ethics and society, folklore and anthropology, ecology and environment, education, philosophy, art and literature. Its contributors include some of the most respected names in the area of South Asian studies. The Quarterly also carries photo essays by outstanding photographers. In addition to a book review section, each issue presents an in-depth interview with a well-known personality on subjects ranging from religion, philosophy, literature and history to human rights, politics and social activism. The 'moving wall' represents the time period between the last issue available in JSTOR and the most recently published issue of a journal. Moving walls are generally represented in years. In rare instances, a publisher has elected to have a 'zero' moving wall, so their current issues are available in JSTOR shortly after publication. Note: In calculating the moving wall, the current year is not counted. For example, if the current year is 2008 and a journal has a 5 year moving wall, articles from the year 2002 are available. Terms Related to the Moving Wall Fixed walls: Journals with no new volumes being added to the archive. Absorbed: Journals that are combined with another title. Complete: Journals that are no longer published or that have been combined with another title.
