Journal overview

Aims and scope

This title has ceased (2018)

Journal of Comparative Asian Development aims to offer the most up-to-date research, analyses, and findings on the many aspects of social, economic, and political development in contemporary Asia conducted by scholars and experts from Asia and elsewhere. It intends to offer in-depth as well as comparative studies which will interest scholars, private and public institutions, entrepreneurs, as well as policymakers. Above all, it aspires to serve as an international forum for Asian academics and experts with their counterparts from the rest of the world.

Considerable emphasis is placed on comparative development to overcome a common weakness of regional studies, based on the belief that the latter will be enhanced by a comparative approach, together with theory-building and theory-adaptation.

Journal of Comparative Asian Development is a truly independent academic publication, and it welcomes contributions from all those interested in scholarly exchanges in the broad field of comparative Asian studies.
