AIM and SCOPE

The International Journal of Asian Studies (IJAS), sponsored by the Institute for Advanced Studies on Asia, University of Tokyo and published by Cambridge University Press, is an international and interdisciplinary English-language periodical publishing research on Asia, primarily in the social sciences and humanities. The first issue was published in January 2004. It consists of both themed and general issues, and is published twice a year.

The Journal examines Asia on a regional basis, emphasising patterns and tendencies that go beyond the borders of individual countries. For example, intra-Asian networks have played a major role in the shaping of modern Asia, but their internal operations and position within worldwide networks remain poorly understood. In addition, modern and contemporary Asia has witnessed dynamic transformations in cultures, societies, economics and politics, and so confronts issues of collective identity formation, ecological crisis, rapid economic change and resurgence of religion. The clarification of past experiences can help produce a deeper understanding of contemporary change. Therefore the Journal is particularly interested in locating contemporary changes within a historical framework, especially using interdisciplinary approaches, and so promotes comparative studies involving the various regions of Asia. By doing so it hopes to foster a move away from the explicit or implicit yardstick of European experience. Thus, as well as encouraging contributions from western scholars, it also focuses attention on the work of Asian scholars, in order to encourage multi-directional communication across the international Asian studies community.

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Journal seeks both original papers and survey articles that fall within its scope as outlined above. Since the Journal is attempting to cross methodological boundaries, we would particularly appreciate papers that can develop new methodologies within their general approach. Papers must be in English and in principle no more than 12,000 words in length, including footnotes. Submissions will be sent on to referees.
