Call for Papers: The Journal of Asia Pacific Studies August 2011 Issue
The Journal of Asia Pacific Studies is calling for papers for its August 2011 Issue (Vol 2, No 2). Articles dealing with the development, economics, and politics of the Asia Pacific Region are welcomed. Opinion papers will also be considered for the "multiple perspectives section". The Journal is published by the Central American Institute of Asia Pacific Studies and is indexed in EBSCOhost among others.

About the Journal:

The Journal of Asia Pacific Studies aims to serve as an outlet for research dealing with the interdisciplinary field of Asia Pacific Studies. As one of the most dynamic regions in the world, the Asia Pacific is of interest to a vast array of scholars and practitioners from many fields. Interest in the region is no longer limited to a few elite centers in the Global North but rather has spread to Latin America and other regions of the developing world. Moreover, Central America has started to look East as a way to diversify its traditional reliance on the Atlantic and North America. Due to the previously mentioned increased interest in the Pacific and Asia as its hub, the Guild of Independent Scholars in cooperation with several prominent Asian Scholars and Practitioners is launching the Journal of Asia Pacific Studies as an early step in the process leading to the establishment of the Central American Institute of Asia Pacific Studies (CAI-APS).

It is the hope of the Guild of Independent Scholars that the Journal will provide a link between the two regions and serve as a mean of communication for scholars and practitioners interested in Asia Pacific Studies. Since the field of Asia Pacific Studies is at an early stage in Central America the Journal aims to have an effect not only in the academic community but also at the policy making level. Thus, policy oriented papers will be given priority and the Journal will be distributed among the policy making community of Central America.
