Considering that in Portugal the public and academic interest walk side by side with the necessity of a journal of asian studies, it emerged naturally to the Instituto do Oriente of ISCSP to fill in this gap with an editorial project of a Portuguese Journal of Asian Studies.
With a title that suggests a link between the public interest and what is best from the oriental studies in Portugal and a project of enlarged colaboration, in the scope of Social Sciences, the publication Daxiyangguo: Portuguese Journal of Asian Studies, aims, with a semestral periodicity, the dissemination to a public specialised of the major themes of the mordern asian studies, favouring the ones concerning the luso-chinese relations, guiding itself by the criterea imposed by Law to periodic informative publications.
