"[the journal] has already published important contributions to our understanding of the dynamics of international politics in Asia and has presented important work on the wider debates in international relations theory from Asian perspectives. . . . It offers important original contributions by leading scholars, has high editorial standards and has the potential to become one of the leading journals in the field."                   Phil Deans, Head, Contemporary China Institute, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
