Asian Security aims to be the foremost journal on all aspects of the national and international security in Asia. The journal covers "traditional" issues like interstate warfare, the regional balance of power, alliances and other multilateral security institutions, national defense policies, strategic culture, civil-military relations, nuclear proliferation, conventional arms racing, arms control, and conflict-prone areas, as well as "new" security issues like the stability of democratic transitions, globalization and its backlash, ethnic conflict, insurgency and counter insurgency, failing states, and transnational terrorism. 

The editors welcome submissions that are theoretically innovative, policy-relevant (or, ideally, both) on any of these topics. Asian Security strives to be a journal that is appreciated equally by policymakers and scholars.
