Asia and the Global Economy

AGE publishes rigorous economic, political science and international relations research with clear policy implications for the Asian region and Asia's role in the global economy. Articles must have a firm analytical basis, but their findings must have significant policy relevance for questions facing the Asian countries. Consequently, AGE will publish innovative and timely studies of economic, political and social aspects of relations among Asian countries and their relations with the rest of the world. Analytical or policy-oriented contributions will be welcome from diverse perspectives.

Examples of topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Asian economic, financial and political integration

Economic growth and development in Asia

Effects of current and prospective domestic and international political trends on Asian economies

The emergence of a new global trade regime, trade wars and economic integration

Comparative analysis of Asian and European or North and South American economies

Asian innovation and the Fourth Industrial Revolution in Asia

Asian connectedness, including logistics and transportation and China's One Belt One Road Policy

Economic, political and social effects of demographic trends and migration in Asia

Comparative analysis of Asian and European or North and South American productivity growth and technological progress

Political economy of developments related to Asian regional integration

Financial integration in Asia and capital flows both within Asia and between Asia and the rest of the world

Prospects for expanding or deepening current regional integration arrangements in Asia

Economic cooperation and economic sanctions in Asian economic integration

Reintegration challenges and opportunities for Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Peoples Republic of China, North and South Korea

AGE will seek contributions on the above and similar topics from academics as well as from policy makers in the countries of Asia and in countries that have strong political, economic or security ties with Asia.

AGE will carry mainly empirical articles that have clear policy implications. At times, conceptual papers will be published so long as they apply to concrete policy issues facing Asian countries. AGE will not carry book reviews per se, but will from time to time commission review articles that deal in a substantial way with several important books that touch on the same tropic. Where appropriate, AGE will also publish conference reports.
