New Book Series: Asian Studies

Contemporary Issues and Trends

Series Editor: Professor Chris Rowley,
Cass Business School, City University, UK

Chandos Publishing is pleased to announce the launch of a major new series of books entitled Asian Studies: Contemporary Issues and Trends.

Asia has clearly undergone some major transformations in recent years and books in the Series will examine this transformation from a number of perspectives: economic, management, social, political and cultural. We are particularly interested in books which focus on business and management issues.

Importantly, the Series will examine both current developments and possible future trends. The Series is aimed at an international market of academics and professionals working in the area and have been specially commissioned from leading authors. The objective is to provide the reader with an authoritative view of current thinking.

Submission guidelines
We would be delighted to hear from you if you have an idea for a book. We are interested in both shorter, practically orientated publications (45,000+ words) and longer, theoretical monographs (75,000-100,000 words). Our books can be single, joint or multi-author volumes. If you have an idea for a book, please contact the publishers or Professor Chris Rowley, the Series Editor, who will supply you with an author’s proposal form. Alternatively, if you would like to discuss your ideas first, before submitting a proposal, we would be pleased to hear from you.
