The Indian Journal of Asian Affairs (IJAA), launched in 1988, is a bi-annual, double-blind, peer-reviewed journal.
Aims and Scope
Devoted to an objective analysis of important contemporary and current Asian affairs, IJAA covers theoretical, empirical, historical and policy issues from wide-ranging perspectives and critical appraisals within a multidisciplinary framework. IJAA is committed to generating debate, dialogue and discourses in fields of foreign policy, defence, security, peace, conflict, and economic development, bearing upon "Asia and the world." It welcomes articles, commentaries and short research notes from scholars engaged in multiple disciplines to offer new findings, new interpretations, and innovative approaches to problems and issues confronting the Asian region. Our readership consists of scholars, academia, researchers, students, and public policymakers.
