The Journal of Current Chinese Affairs is a peer reviewed academic journal published by the GIGA Institute for Asian Studies, Hamburg. The journal focuses on current developments in Greater China. Three times a year it is simultaneously published online as an Open Access journal, and as a printed version. The editors are Professor Kerry Brown, Lau China Institute, King’s College London, and Dr. Sinan Chu, GIGA Institute for Asian Studies, Hamburg.
The Journal of Current Chinese Affairs reaches a broad international readership in academia, administration and business circles. It is devoted to the transfer of scholarly insights to a wide audience and publishes high-quality, original research on current issues in China in a format and style that is accessible across disciplines and to professionals with an interest in the region.
The editors welcome contributions on current affairs within Greater China, including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Submissions can focus on emerging topics and current developments as well as on future-oriented debates in the fields of China's global and regional roles; political, economic and social developments including foreign affairs, business, finance, cultural industries, religion, education, science and technology; and so on.
Contributions are published in one of three sections: Research articles cover original research, are theoretically grounded, empirically sound and reflect the state of the art in modern China studies. Analyses reflect new thinking, are based in practical and/or professional experience and are non-partisan contributions to an understanding of policies, business, economic and cultural practice, and other evolving themes. Review articles provide an overview over recently published studies and the state of the art of current affairs within Greater China.
