Focus and Scope 

JCIR is a cutting-edge source of scholarship, information and analysis about the contemporary rise of China and its impact on the international system in an era of globalization and transnational capitalism. JCIR aims to make an important and significant contribution to the study of China’s rise to the status of a world power in connection with the profound changes in the world that it has brought about. It provides a forum for exploring how external factors helped shape China’s internal transformations and how China’s inner transformation contributed to reshaping the world. Interdisciplinary in scope, JCIR provides analyses of important China-centered political, economic, social and cultural topics.

 

JCIR is committed to publishing informed and insightful analyses from both Western and Chinese scholars worldwide and stimulating the scholarly debate on contemporary China in its new role in the current transnational era of international relations and international political economy. Special encouragement is given to those who want to develop China-oriented theories of international relations and international political economy.
