Instead, it seeks to foster diverse perspectives, embracing all conceptual, normative, and empirical research of major sub-areas of regional political economy. Pacific Focus stimulates and disseminates high quality research and scholarship of the Asia-Pacific region throughout the international academic community. The journal also aims to provide policy makers in Asia-Pacific countries with in-depth analyses of current issues and policy alternatives.
