Crossroads: the ASA journal

 

Founded in 2001, Crossroads is an interdisciplinary journal published three times a year. It has been created and developed by the ASERI Students Association.
Crossroads aims at being a high quality journal that spreads primarily, but not exclusively, the work of ASERI alumni.
Crossroads welcomes contributions from world-wide scholars and executive officials with government agencies, international agencies, non-governmental organizations and private corporations.
Crossroads is intended for the reader from the academic, governmental, and business sector with an interest in international affairs.
A fundamental aim of Crossroads is to publish scholarly articles, commentaries, and opinion pieces dealing with the international dimensions of political economy, economics, political science, business, and law. In particular Crossroads seeks to publish original, innovative, rigorous and provocative articles dealing with the multi-faceted aspects of international affairs.
