Contemporary Buddhism examines the historical, doctrinal and political developments that have formed contemporary versions of Buddhism. The special features of Contemporary Buddhism are:

• the meeting of Buddhism and western culture

• the relations between these traditions
• the relations to other world religious traditions

Contemporary Buddhism is intended to reflect and represent all schools of Buddhism. Submissions of papers related to the aims and scope of the journal are welcomed.
