Asia Policy:

Asia Policy (ISSN 1559-0968) is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to bridging the gap between academic research and policymaking on issues related to the Asia-Pacific.

Asia Policy publishes, in descending order of emphasis, three types of peer-reviewed essays:

(1) social scientific research articles that both use social science theories, concepts, and approaches and draw clear and concise policy implications on issues of import to the region

(2) research notes that present, in a well-organized format, new, important, and even exploratory conceptual frameworks or descriptive information of use to policymakers, especially on topics that have traditionally been underrepresented in the literature

(3) policy analyses that present original, persuasive, analytically rigorous, and clear and concise research-based argumentation on crucial policy matters
