About the Journal
Focus and Scope
The Indian Ocean World Centre Working Paper Series explores the past and contemporary history, geography, economy, environment and politics of the Indian Ocean World. We encourage contributors to adopt a transnational approach which scrutinises the links and interactions within the larger Indian Ocean World. However, we also welcome more focussed studies concentrating on specific events and areas in the Middle East, East Africa, the Indian Subcontinent, East and Southeast Asia.

Publication Frequency
