Estudios de Asia y África, published at the Centro de Estudios de Asia y África, in El Colegio de México, is the only interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal in Spanish focused on the history, social, economic and political sciences of the Asian and African regions. EAA represents a unique source for the presentation of original scholarship by Latin American, Asian, African, European and U.S.-based authors to readers in Mexico, Latin America, the Iberian Peninsula and the rest of the world.

Estudios de Asia y África was first published beginning in January 1966 under the name Estudios Orientales; in January 1975 it assumed its current name, although continuing with the original numbering of EO. At present, it appears online in three editions per year. It offers research articles with abstracts in English and Spanish, translations of texts in Asian and African languages, analysis of current developments, critiques and discussions, as well as book reviews. Its scholarly articles are reviewed by two peers chosen from among the members of its editorial committees and a longer list of selected Mexican and international specialists.

The leading academics on the Editorial Committee of Estudios de Asia y África work together to set the journal’s editorial policy, and are responsible for the quality of the published texts. The Editorial Committee consists of the journal’s editor, two CEEA academics, and two outside members, and it meets regularly at the request of the journal’s editor.

The journal has also an Advisory Committee composed of prominent academics from five continents who are specialists in the topics and geographical areas of interest of the journal.
