Description
Contemporary International Relations (ISSN1003-3408), a policy-oriented research journal, was inspired by the need for international communication in a period of rapid Chinese development; it has been published by China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations since 1990. Originally produced as a single-paper pamphlet, in 1992 it was established as a regular monthly publication and in 2006 converted to a bi-monthly journal.
China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations is one of the major policy-orient-ed research bodies in China. A primary purpose of its journal is to present the views of CICIR researchers on international politics and international relations. The journal's scope of publication also includes papers by scholars and researchers from other institutes in China and from around the world. The journal focuses on policy-oriented research, with an emphasis on government policy analysis, both that of China and of other nations. It covers analysis of changes in international relations and prominent world events and publishes papers on international relation theory studies.
The views expressed in the journal are those of the individual authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the journal or the Institutes. The journal welcomes contributions from within China as well as from overseas, providing the subject matter falls within the domain of the journal.
All papers published in the journal can be found on the CICIR website, with a two-month delay.
