The Asian Journal of Public Affairs (AJPA) is a web-based, biannual academic publication regarding public affairs issues pertaining to Asia and the Oceania region. Spearheaded by graduate students from the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore, AJPA was established to analyze and influence policy-making within Asia through an interdisciplinary lens, including but not limited to public policy, public management, international relations, international political economy, and economics. Each edition features scholarly submissions, case studies, book reviews, and commentaries from distinguished figures. The journal seeks an audience of scholars and practitioners.
The inaugural issue of the Asian Journal of Public Affairs was released in July 2007 and features an editorial piece from Kishore Mahbubani, Dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, among full-length articles from graduate students in the UK, US, China, and Singapore.
After a series of successful online editions, a printed issue will be published in January 2009. The editorial board has issued a call for contributions (deadline: 15 November 2008)
