European Journal of East Asian Studies

Aims & Scope

Founded in 2001 originally by a consortium of European universities, the European Journal of East Asian Studies ( EJEAS) is a global scholarly journal specializing in post-1945 East Asian studies, with a focus on East Asia’s socio-economic development, regional affairs and external relations.

The journal’s central objective is to promote interdisciplinary contributions in social sciences for a better conceptual and empirical analysis of East Asia’s recent and current evolution, at infra- and supra-national levels, including the knowledge of local dimensions.

Contributors are invited to cross-combine disciplines such as anthropology, geography, history, economics, political science, psychology, and sociology.

They can be also inspired by domains of study such as cultural studies, international development, foreign affairs, global studies, public policy, corporate affairs and management, etc.
