Far Eastern Studies

Published by Center for Far Eastern Studies, University of Toyama, Japan

1. Aim and Scope

The primary concern of Far Eastern Studies (FES) is to advance area studies which contribute to the development and the stabilization of Far Eastern Asia. We especially focus on Northeast Asian studies from economic, social, and environmental points of view, which should be integrated for consideration of sustainable development of the region. Accordingly the most important aim of FES is to facilitate communication among research institutes and individual researchers who are actively engaged in Northeast Asian studies within various disciplines.

Areas of particular interest include:

- Empirical studies on Northeast Asian economic and social development
- Empirical studies on Northeast Asian environment and ecosystems
- Evaluation and development of economic, social, environmental policy in Northeast Asia
- Advancement of the theories for economic development, human-centered development, and environment-centered development which contribute to Northeast Asian studies
- Analysis and evaluation of economic and political interdependence between Northeast Asia and the rest of Far Eastern Asia
