Asian Studies

Aims & Scope

The international academic journal Asian Studies (issued by the Department of Asian Studies, Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana) is a distinctive, interdisciplinary journal devoted to the study of Asian societies and cultures. It publishes thoroughly researched and double blind, strictly peer-reviewed academic articles that represent a high level of scholarly excellence. The Journal publishes contributions that feature analyses and interpretations of different aspects and phenomena of the social realities in Asian (especially east Asian) societies, with a focus on their specific historical and cultural contexts. Ranging across the fields of Asian literature, art, philosophy, history and sociology, Asian Studies challenges the bureaucratization of intercultural research in the humanities and social studies, and features in-depth examinations of past, present, and future research issues by some of the world's leading scholars and experts in these fields. An integral part of our scholarly mission is to publish innovative, high-quality articles that will have a lasting impact by opening up new research areas in their respective fields.
