The Asian Journal of Comparative Politics (AJCP) is a journal of Comparative Politics with the focus on Asia. Despite the enormous transformations of the world into the new millennium in terms of the number and characters of sovereign countries and in terms of deep tide of globalization permeating every part of the globe, the genre of Comparative Politics has often been constrained by the original paradigms which developed largely in the third quarter of the last century like voting behavior, party cleavages, democratization, state strength, and no less importantly primordial emphasis on Western Europe and North America.

The journal covers all topics in this field; political behavior and leadership, institutions and regime, state-society relations, political cultures, foreign policy and globalization.

Published under the auspices of the Asian Consortium for Political Research (ACPR) and AJCP is partly financially supported by the Grant-in Aid for Scientific Research (Grant in Aid for Publication of Science Research Results, 15HP2025), Japan Society for the Promotion of Science is greatly acknowledged.
