The China Quarterly is a leading peer-reviewed scholarly journal, covering all aspects of contemporary China, including Taiwan. Our interdisciplinary approach covers a range of subjects including the social sciences, law, history, media, literature and the arts. Using a triple-anonymous peer review process, we publish high-quality, empirically rich and theoretically grounded research. The China Quarterly provides readers with in-depth analyses and a deeper understanding of China. In addition to research articles and shorter research reports, each issue contains a comprehensive book reviews section.
