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 twice a year, Asia-Pacific Review was launched in 1994 by the Institute for International Policy Studies (IIPS), an independent, non-profit research institute founded in Tokyo by former Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone. 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.

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.
