Culture Briefings give you current, in-depth information found in no other single source on the customs, culture, traditions and ways of life of people in other countries. These are intended for travelers, business travellers, researchers, teachers and students, study-abroad participants, or anyone seeking to better understand another nation.

"Culture Briefings provide the kind of information needed before attempting a project in a foreign country, both in terms of substantive background on the history and culture of the people and practical advice on culturally proscribed behavior....[they offer] authoritative and sympathetic guidance for behavior in dealing with residents of a country." The report on each country is about 60 print pages long with a common table of contents.
