The Journal of History, Politics and Strategy is committed to the publication and advancement of scholarship in the fields of social sciences and the humanities. It welcomes contributions from scholars interested in contemporary and historic Asia-Pacific issues, inter-disciplinary and comparative studies, and Malaysian studies.

The journal follows a code of best practice familiar to all scholarly journals. This means that the editorial board conducts peer-reviews to ensure the academic integrity and quality of all contributions; continually strives to improve the journal by listening to feedback from authors, editors, readers, and reviewers; provides comprehensive guidance for all authors and reviewers; and places intellectual and ethical standards over business needs.
