Journal of the Asia Pacific Economy (JAPE) aims to promote greater understanding of the complex economic, historical, political, social and cultural factors which have influenced and continue to shape the transformation of the diverse economies that make up the Asia Pacific region. Editorial policy is to maintain a sound balance between theoretical and empirical works. JAPE publishes research papers written from the perspective of a single discipline, such as economics, politics or sociology, and it particularly welcomes multi-disciplinary perspectives. Submissions can range from overview articles spanning the region to papers with a detailed focus on particular issues facing individual countries. In addition to articles, it publishes short notes, comments and book reviews. Contributors are encouraged to spell out the practical policy implications of their work for governments and business. All articles are reviewed by at least two referees.
