The U.S. Department of State’s Public Diplomacy Resource Center (PDRC) in Washington, DC and Information Resource Center (IRC) staff in South Africa regularly scan web sites for new documents on topics such as terrorism, economic security, democracy & human rights, the environment, U.S. foreign relations, and U.S. defense policy. Sources include the U.S. Federal government, major private think tanks and national professional associations.
Federal government documents are almost always in the public domain and thus have no copyright restrictions. Other sources may claim limited or complete copyright.
The PDRC and IRC staff also regularly prepare abstracts of significant articles from the current periodical literature. Most of the articles are by American authors and come from American publications. The views expressed in the articles are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect U.S. Government policies.
South African residents may request up to five articles from this Alert, for private research purposes only. To request articles, email the citation to ircpretoria@state.gov, or fax your request to (012) 342-5502.
