International publisher Brill launches a new journal, the International Journal of Taiwan Studies, cosponsored by Academia Sinica and the European Association of Taiwan Studies.
The International Journal of Taiwan Studies is the first internationally collaborative, multidisciplinary, and peer-reviewed academic research journal in English dedicated to all aspects of Taiwan Studies, including Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, and topics which are interdisciplinary in nature. This publication is a principal outlet for the dissemination of cutting-edge research on Taiwan, a rapidly growing field with an increasingly critical influence, aiming to reach academics and policy makers of different cultural backgrounds, disciplinary perspectives and methodological approaches. The journal’s editorial office is supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and is hosted by the Department of International Politics, Aberystwyth University.
The journal currently consists of two issues per year, available both online and in print. Its inaugural issue has been published in February: http://booksandjournals.brillonline.com/content/journals/24688800
“The inauguration of an interdisciplinary journal devoted to the study of Taiwan is long overdue. Taiwan’s intriguing history and extraordinary present have attracted scholarly interest for decades. At last this intellectual energy – and the theoretical advances it has inspired – has a dedicated outlet,” says Professor Shelley Rigger (Davidson College), IJTS Advisory Board member.
