This exciting new journal will focus on one of the most vibrant regions of the contemporary world. Both China and India are now recognized to be critical players in the global economy, with economic profiles that grow on an annual basis. East Asian economies that started to develop somewhat earlier, following the Japanese lead, remain among the most important economies in the world. The emergent regions of South and Southeast Asia have many dynamic economic sectors. Public policy, governance and development issues are drawing increasing attention not only from academia but also from the wider business, professional and policy communities.
Development and policy issues will be defined broadly. Comparative analysis and current policy debates will be particularly stressed. Asia will also be defined broadly to encompass an area bounded by Mongolia in the north, Indonesia in the south, Japan in the east, and Afghanistan in the west. Articles that do not have an explicit Asian focus will be considered only if they have clear relevance to an Asian readership.
This journal will meet established standards of academic rigour while also reaching out to a wider, professional/practitioner-based audience. The journal will contain two main sections:
- The first section, Analysis, will contain mainstream academic pieces. All of the contributions to this first section will be refereed through a peer review process. Each piece will be limited to a maximum of 7000 words.
- The second section, Praxis, will contain reports, profiles, research notes and other materials on development in Asia. Items in this section will be written to academic standards but will contain material of interest to an audience that stretches beyond academia. Each piece will be limited to a maximum of 3000 words.
Manuscripts are invited for submission. Please submit your articles to Professor Ka Ho Mok, E-mail: KH.Mok@bristol.ac.uk
