Due to financial problems we will not be publishing the JCCP until it is accepted by a publisher
Statement of aims
The Journal of China in Comparative Perspective (JCCP) publishes original multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary comparative research on China on a wide range of topics within the social and human sciences.
The journal encourages debate, cooperation, or co-authorship on the same issue or theme from different disciplines (including politics, economics, international relations, history, sociology, anthropology, cultural psychology, among others).
Its aim is to bring out the best in scholarship transcending traditional academic boundaries in an innovative manner.
All the content of the JCCP will put China into comparative perspective. The JCCP will not be simply about China - there are already several excellent China journals. It will be about looking at China from a comparative viewpoint as a player in broader patterns of development, ideas, movements, networks, and systems. Comparison includes taking China as a case study of a generally applicable theory, or drawing analytic conclusions from comparative data about China and some other country or context. The comparison may be regional or global, historical or contemporary, and it may involve a comparison of perceptions. China's perceptions of others and others' perceptions of China in the context of China's encounter with the outside world in the political, economic, military, and cultural sense.
The JCCP is a strictly non-partisan publication and does not support or discriminate against any political, ideological or religious viewpoint. In accordance with standard academic practice, articles submitted for publication to the JCCP are subjected to a rigorous process of blind peer review. Although conceived as an academic journal, the editorial policy is to ensure that articles that appear therein are of interest beyond the academic arena to both policy-makers as well as readers with a general interest in China-related themes.
In addition to research articles, research reports, and commentaries, the JCCP will also publish periodic symposia on selected topics, in-depth review articles on particular areas of scholarship, and reviews of books of unusual quality and significance for the study of China in comparative perspective. Issues of the journal may be organized into themes, and we welcome suggestions for whole thematic issues.
The JCCP will be published biannually in both print and electronic versions.
