Aims and scope
Asia-Pacific Review analyzes global political, economic, security, energy and environmental issues, with specific emphasis on the Asia-Pacific region, and aims to provide readers with excellent insights on a variety of crucial topics.

Published three times a year, Asia-Pacific Review was launched in 1994 by the Nakasone Peace Institute (NPI), an independent, non-profit research institute founded in Tokyo by former Prime Minister Nakasone Yasuhiro. The institute examines critical issues facing the world and Japan from an independent standpoint. It also organizes and sponsors a number of conferences in Japan and abroad and conducts joint research projects with institutes in Europe and the United States.

Peer Review Integrity
All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single anonymized and submission is via email to editor@iips.org

Asia-Pacific Review publishes articles written by leading scholars, diplomats, politicians and business people who are actively involved in making decisions that affect the Asia-Pacific region in the twenty-first century.
