Journal description:
Asia Policy (established January 2006) is a new peer-reviewed journal devoted to bridging the gap between academic research and policymaking on issues related to the Asia-Pacific. Asia Policy welcomes research—whether case-specific analysis or empirically focused theoretical analysis—that highlights policy-related research on important issues in the Asia-Pacific.

Guidelines for Submissions:
Each journal submission will be judged solely upon the quality of its scholarship as determined by a “triple-blind” review process: not only are author and reviewer unaware of each other’s identity, but the Editor and Editorial Board members also do not know the authorship of manuscripts under review. In order to maintain the integrity of this blind review process, we ask that all submissions be sent to submissions@nbr.org. All submissions to Asia Policy must include a standardized one-page Executive Summary that clearly spells out the topic, main argument, policy-relevant implications, and organization of the essay. The complete Guidelines for Submissions and a sample Executive Summary can be viewed at http://asiapolicy.nbr.org/submissions.html.
