Collaboration between two University Presses brings first Chinese
peer-reviewed journal to a Western audience
Oxford Journals, a division of Oxford University Press, is delighted to
announce the launch of The Chinese Journal of International Politics
(CJIP), an English translation of China's first peer-reviewed journal of
international studies.
The Journal, published in China as Science of International Politics,
was launched in 2005 by Peking University Press on behalf of Tsinghua
University's Institute of International Studies. Its launch today as an
English language translation marks a new opportunity for researchers
around the world to access high quality Chinese research into
international security.
CJIP aims to advance the systematic and rigorous study of international
relations. The journal will publish research products of historical
studies and policy-oriented research, covering regional dynamics in East
Asia; arms control and disarmament; military conflict and dispute
settlement; globalization and domestic change; and international
political economy, all from a uniquely Chinese viewpoint.
The venture has been made possible with funding from the MacArthur
Foundation, one of the largest grant giving institutions in the world.
CJIP furthers the Foundation's aim of strengthening the community of
science and security experts, facilitating discussions of
policy-oriented research, and supporting scholarly exchange with
counterparts abroad. The Foundation has provided support for the
publication of the journal over two years.
"Given the insights CJIP will provide on international security research
in China, and its approach towards promoting high quality scholarship,
we felt there was a very compelling case towards launching an English
language version of the journal," commented Martin Richardson, Managing
Director, Oxford Journals. He added:
"For both Oxford, and Peking University Press, increasing the
dissemination of significant scholarly research is a major goal. We're
delighted to be working with Peking and Tsinghua University's Institute
of International Studies to bring this journal to a much wider
audience."
The first issue of CJIP is published today, and can be accessed for free
online. There will be two issues of CJIP in 2006 and 2007. CJIP will be
quarterly from 2008. Further information on the title is available on
the website: http://www.oxfordjournals.org/our_journals/cjip/
