IQAS - International Quarterly for Asian Studies

IQAS (International Quarterly for Asian Studies) is an international publication of the Arnold Bergstraesser Institute, published twice a year in both a print and an open access version. It provides a platform for multidisciplinary research on current and historical topics relevant to, among others, politics, economics, culture, nature, religion, language, society, science and technology in Asia. It serves to promote fresh scholarly enquiry on Asia from within the humanities and the social sciences, and to encourage work that communicates across disciplinary and regional boundaries. It seeks to foster cross-disciplinary cooperation, translocal and transregional analysis, comparative perspectives, and research going beyond established meta-geographies and conventional container categories in Area Studies. Authors employ up-to-date theoretical or methodological approaches, particularly those originating from Asia and the wider region.
