ICAS Book Prize for Asian Studies 2023

The International Convention of Asia Scholars (ICAS) Book Prize (IBP) is calling for publications in the field of Asian Studies written in Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish. 

The IBP is awarded to outstanding publications in the field of Asian Studies and has always been organised around broad interdisciplinary bases (social sciences and humanities) rather than traditional geographic or disciplinary compartmentalisations. It has grown from an experiment with 50 books and 5 dissertations in 2005, to the leading Book Prize in the field of Asian Studies, with almost 700 books, more than 170 dissertations and 98 articles in 2021. 

Organised every 2 years, the IBP awards publications written in Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish, as well as in English. With this multilingual approach, in cooperation with a host of partners and sponsors worldwide, ICAS is increasingly decentring the landscape of knowledge about and in Asia.
