Journal of Asian Security and International Affairs

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Asian Security & International Affairs (JASIA) is an international peer reviewed journal that specializes in political and security issues in all the main sub-regions of Asia – Central and West Asia; South Asia; Northeast Asia; Southeast Asia; and Australasia.

The JASIA is particularly interested in papers that link domestic and international political issues and developments with national and regional security concerns and implications.

Security is understood both in its ‘traditional’ (e.g., interstate wars and conflict, weapons proliferation, military modernization, alliance building, defence and foreign policy, arms control, etc.), and ‘non-traditional’ (e.g., weak states, civil wars, insurgency movements, ethnic violence, economic crisis, social conflicts, democratic change, transnational terrorism, piracy, human security, etc.) senses.

The editors welcome submissions of original and innovative research papers offering theory-driven empirical analysis and policy prescriptions, which would be of interest to experts and scholars, government officials and policymakers, and non-specialist readers.

The JASIA also publishes reviews of books on all aspects of politics and security in Asia.
