Asia-Pacific Development Journal

The Asia-Pacific Development Journal (APDJ) is published twice a year by the Macroeconomic Policy and Development Division of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP).

The primary objective of the APDJ is to provide a platform for the exchange of knowledge, experience, ideas, information and data on all aspects of economic and social development issues and concerns facing the region and aims to stimulate policy debate and assist policy formulation.

The Asian development experience has stood out as an extraordinary example of what can be achieved when policy makers, experts, scholars and people at large harness their creativity, knowledge and foresight. The Asia-Pacific Development Journal has been a proud partner in this process, providing a scholarly means for bringing together research work by eminent social scientists and development practitioners from the region and beyond for use by a variety of stakeholders. Over the years, the Journal has emerged as a key United Nations publication in telling the Asian development story in a concise, coherent and impartial manner to stimulate policy debate and assist policy formulation in the region.

The Journal welcomes original pieces of work with emphasis on empirically based, policy-oriented articles focusing on issues and challenges relevant to the Asian and the Pacific region.  The articles should have a strong emphasis on the policy implications flowing from the analysis.  While the Journal does publish high quality country studies, the focus of the journal is primarily on regional work or the work that has policy implications to the region at large.

Apart from the strong emphasis on the substantive content of the articles, the Editorial Board of the Journal also wishes to emphasize that papers should meet the editorial standards in terms of the English language as well as the editorial standards prescribed in the editorial guidelines. 

Interested persons are encouraged to refer to previous issues of the Journal to familiarize themselves with the contents and editorial standards.
