Columbia University Press is expanding and deepening its list in Asian history, publishing more books per year than previously. Our Asian history list is focused on modern Asia in the world, with an emphasis on China, Japan, Tibet, and Korea. A recent valued addition to our list is Madeleine Zelin’s Merchants of Zigong: Industrial Entrepreneurship In Early Modern China, winner of three awards among them the American Historical Association's 2006 John K. Fairbank Prize.
I handle the Asia portion of our new Columbia Studies in International and Global History series edited by Matthew Connelly and Adam M. McKeown, featuring the forthcoming book by Adam, A Melancholy Order: Asian Migration and the Globalization of Borders.
The International Relations list is focused on comparative politics, security studies, public policy, terrorism and human rights. Recent books include Victor D. Cha and David Kang, Nuclear North Korea: A Debate on Engagement Strategies and Bruce Hoffman’s second edition of Inside Terrorism.
Our Anthropology list is anchored by Nicholas Dirk’s series, Cultures of History with a focus on Asia-related works.
