History

The journal was established in 1970 by Detlev Kantowsky (University of Konstanz) and Alois Graf von Waldburg-Zeil (Weltforum Verlag) as the Internationales Asienforum. Kantowsky was the founding editor until he was succeeded by Ekkehard Kulke. Clemens Jürgenmeyer was named editor after the death of Kulke in 1978. In 2010, Jakob Rösel (University of Rostock) became editor. After five years, he was succeeded by Claudia Derichs (Humboldt University). Since then the journal has become an English-only, open access journal and its title was subsequently changed to the current one in 2017.
