European Journal of East Asian Studies is a multi-disciplinary journal dedicated to East Asia, one of the most varied, complex, and rapidly changing parts of the world. Published in Europe by European specialists, the journal is open to new ideas and findings from wherever they may come. We welcome the submission of manuscripts in social sciences such as political science, economics, sociology and cultural studies (including but not limited to political economy, development economics, business studies, international relations,…). Articles can address the wider East Asian region (China, Japan, Korean Peninsula, Japan, Mongolia), including Southeast Asia (ASEAN countries but not Oceania/South Pacific), or inter-regional relations involving the Asian region or sub-regions and countries (such as Asia-Europe relations for instance). The journal covers both 20th and 21st centuries with a clear contemporary focus. The journal is based at the Graduate Institute of Development and International Studies, Geneva, Switzerland, associated with the East Asia Institute, University of Vienna, Austria, and the University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It also enjoys the support of nine major European research institutions. Two double-issues will be published each year (six papers per double-issue).
