Asian Studies Review is a multidisciplinary journal of contemporary and modern Asia. The journal sets out to showcase high-quality scholarship on the modern histories, cultures, societies, languages, politics and religions of Asia through the publication of research articles, book reviews and review articles.

It welcomes the submission of research articles from across the broad spectrum of social sciences and humanities on all Asian regions and on international and transnational issues in which Asia is the major focus.

Asian Studies Review aims to publish a balanced mixture of articles in traditional and emerging disciplines.  The invited review articles and book reviews reflect both the scholarship on display and the broader world of Asian Studies.

The Asian Studies Review editors are pleased to offer authors the opportunity to further promote their research by publishing a short version of their journal article on the ASAA’s open access platform Asian Currents. This is an opportunity for authors and the ASAA to share an extended summary of research findings through social media and membership networks, and direct readers to the full-text journal article on the Asian Studies Review online portal. Please contact the editor of Asian Currents for further information.

From 1977 until 1990 Asian Studies Review was known as the ASAA Review.  It joined Blackwell Publishing in 1998 and moved to Taylor & Francis in 2004.
