"The academia of international affairs has been continually influenced by the theories framed during the colonial period. The role and influence of colonial theories and academics in academic knowledge production, policy framework, and practices in international affairs in Asia and beyond is immense. The need for the creation of critical discourses, an inquisition into the impact, influence, and relevance of these theories, and the need for the creation of theories and knowledge in the arena of international affairs to solve the practical difficulties and problems of the present state of affairs among the States is imperative. Breaking the unilateral and esoteric narratives, debunking misinformation and disinformation, and promoting the theory of peaceful co-existence and shared economic and cultural prosperity among the States is inevitable in the current state of affairs. The war in Russia-Ukraine, the conflict in Taiwan, the Sri Lankan economic crisis, etc. has adequately highlighted how narratives regarding the rising Asia, the formation of the New World Order, the historical rivalry over territories among States in Asia and rivalry between the civilizations leading to inevitable clash of civilizations and Third World War are leading the world towards conflict and not cooperation. Hence, the promotion of research on preventing the “inevitable” conflict through development and shared prosperity, harmony, and coordination with an increase in communication and transportation among the States just emphasizing the development of trade routes and linkages, etc. is the role and responsibility of the academia in this context. With this background, Asian Journal of International Affairs (AJIA) is established as one of the initiatives in leading the debate and discussion for the formation of fair, just, and peaceful international order and exercise of its relations."
