Asian Economic Policy Review

Aims & Scope

The goal of the Asian Economic Policy Review is to become an intellectual voice on the current issues of international economics and economic policy, based on comprehensive and in-depth analyses, with a primary focus on Asia.

As such, articles in the Journal will not be purely academic research or political commentaries.

Instead, stress will be placed on identifying key issues at the time - spanning international trade, international finance, the environment, energy, the integration of regional economies and other issues - in order to furnish ideas and proposals to contribute positively to the policy debate in the region.

Although the principal focus is economic policy issues, when necessary and relevant, international relations papers will also be included.
