Collaboration between two University Presses brings first Chinese peer-reviewed journal to a Western audience
25 August 2006Oxford 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.
