Editorial Board
The editorial board of the Journal of Contemporary Eastern Asia brings together recognised scholars in the journal’s subject areas, from institutions across Asia, Europe, North America, and beyond. Every member is listed with their current affiliation and serves with their agreement.
The board is reviewed at least annually to keep affiliations current and to confirm continued membership. Last reviewed: September 2026. Editors take decisions independently of the publishers — see Editorial Process and Conflicts of interest.
