Harvard China Review is a scholarly quarterly
founded in 1998 by a group of students and professionals in the Greater Boston area.
The magazine covers issues pertinent to the historical transformations occurring
in the Greater China region from an academic angle, examining the prospects and
difficulties confronted by the region as China develops rapidly into a rising power.
It serves scholars, policy makers, business executives and social workers who are
interested in insightful analyses of the region. It also speaks to students and
general readers who feel the need for objective discussions on crucial issues in
this area. Each issue devotes to a specific theme while still covering a variety
of other topics on economic, political, and social policy. Past issues focused on
a variety of themes including Chinese financial system, US-China relations, education,
150 years of Chinese students studying abroad, the environment, and globalization
among others.
Past contributors include Li Zhaoxin,
Tan Dun, Joseph Nye, Robert S. Ross, Tu Weiming, William C. Kirby, William P. Alford,
Joseph Fewsmith, Elizabeth Perry, Tony Saich, Dwight Perkins, Samuel S. Kim, Tian
Xiaofei, Wang Gungwu, and Hu Angang.
The current editors seek to continue the
tradition of Harvard China Review
and publish the first Chinese version of the journal in 2010. The theme of the first issue in 2010 is “P.R.C. at 60: Perspectives
and Reflections.”
