[Bilimsel Haber] new book series: "Rethinking Asia and International Relations"

[Gonul Pultar]

from Emilian Kavalski <E.Kavalski at uws.edu.au>


Dear Colleagues,

I would like to draw your attention to a new book series, titled: 
Rethinking Asia and International Relations 
(www.ashgate.com/RAIR<http://www.ashgate.com/RAIR>), published by 
Ashgate. I will be very grateful if you consider publishing your 
research in this series as well as if you can forward this information 
to anyone that might be interested.

This series seeks to provide thoughtful consideration both of the 
growing prominence of Asian actors on the global stage and the changes 
in the study and practice of world affairs that they provoke. It intends 
to offer a comprehensive parallel assessment of the full spectrum of 
Asian states, organisations, and regions and their impact on the 
dynamics of global politics. The aims seeks to encourage conversation on:

   *   what rules, norms, and strategic cultures are likely to dominate 
international life in the 'Asian Century';
   *   how will global problems be reframed and addressed by a 'rising 
Asia';
   *   which institutions, actors, and states are likely to provide 
leadership during such 'shifts to the East';
   *   whether there is something distinctly 'Asian' about the emerging 
patterns of global politics.

Such comprehensive engagement not only intends to offer a critical 
assessment of the actual and prospective roles of Asian actors, but also 
seeks to rethink the concepts, practices, and frameworks of analysis of 
world politics.

This series invites proposals for interdisciplinary research monographs 
undertaking comparative studies of Asian actors and their impact on the 
current patterns and likely future trajectories of international 
relations. Furthermore, it offers a platform for pioneering explorations 
of the ongoing transformations in global politics as a result of Asia's 
increasing centrality to the patterns and practices of world affairs.


To submit a proposal for this series, please supply:
• A statement of the aims and rationale for the book: how does it 
further research in the field?
• The draft contents list along with a synopsis of each chapter.
• One or two sample chapters or related material which best represents 
your work (if available).
• The estimated word-length and the expected delivery date
• A short biographical paragraph for all authors, editors and 
contributors involved with the book, and a short
CV for the principal author(s) or editor(s).
• Details of the market in terms of competition and readership level

Please, send proposals to Kirstin Howgate 
(khowgate at ashgatepublishing.com<mailto:khowgate at ashgatepublishing.com>), 
Publisher for Politics and International Relations. You can also feel 
free to contact me if any further information is required.

Cordially,

Emilian Kavalski
