The Bureau of International Information Programs of the U.S. Department of State publishes five electronic journals under the eJournal USA logo—Economic Perspectives, Global Issues, Issues of Democracy, Foreign Policy Agenda, and Society & Values—that examine major issues facing the United States and the international community as well as U.S. society, values, thought, and institutions. Each of the five is catalogued by volume (the number of years in publication) and by number (the number of issues that appear during the year).

One new journal is published monthly in English and is followed by versions in French, Portuguese, Spanish, and Russian. Selected editions also appear in Arabic and Chinese, and other languages as needed.

The opinions expressed in the journals do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the U.S. government.
