About the journal

The Gdańsk Journal of East Asian Studies is one of the two leading Polish academic journals devoted to the countries of East Asia, mainly China, Japan and both Koreas, but also other countries of the region.


The topics of academic articles concern all aspects related to the study and presentation of these countries, i.e. primarily law, politics, economy, history, culture, philosophy, and literature. The criterion for the selection of articles is, therefore, not the field of scholarship, but the choice of a topic related to the East Asia region. The journal is interdisciplinary and the aim of the editors of this semi-annual journal is to familiarize both Polish and foreign readers with the countries of East Asia, as well as to popularize the academic achievements of Polish authors on relevant topics. The main goal, however, is the exchange of ideas between academics from Poland and abroad; popularization of research on East Asia contributes to establishing contacts with academics from East Asia and is an excellent starting point for cooperation.
 

The editorial board of the Journal has set itself the primary goal of expanding contacts with academics from abroad, especially from East Asia, as well as the internationalization of the Journal. We invite you to submit articles to our Journal.
