The Journal of Asia Pacific Studies aims to serve as an outlet for research dealing with the interdisciplinary field of Asia Pacific Studies. The Guild of Independent Scholars in cooperation with several prominent Asian Scholars and Practitioners is launching the Journal of Asia Pacific Studies as an early step in the process leading to the establishment of the Central American Institute of Asia Pacific Studies (CAI-APS). It is the hope of the Guild of Independent Scholars that the Journal will provide a link between the two regions and serve as a mean of communication for scholars and practitioners interested in Asia Pacific Studies. Since the field of Asia Pacific Studies is at an early stage in Central America the Journal aims to have an effect not only in the academic community but also at the policy making level. Thus, policy oriented papers will be given priority and the Journal will be distributed among the policy making community of Central America. The Journal of Asia Pacific Studies will have two main sections. First, a research and analysis section will provide a solid scholarly core to the Journal. A second section will concentrate on opinion and policy papers so as to translate and operationalize some of the research findings for the policy making community and other practitioners. Journal of Asia Pacific Studies is available free of charge as an Open Access journal on the Internet. Articles available in PDF format.
