Nordic value, global presence
NIAS Press publishes authors from all parts of the world. Due to long historic ties between the
Press and scholars from Down Under, a surprising number of our authors are Australian. However, reflecting our geographic position, there is a large contingent of European authors among
whom Asia scholars from the Nordic lands Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden
are prominent. Over the decades, roughly 40% of our authors have been Nordic.
Publishing local scholars and bringing their work to the attention of the global scholarly community is in line with NIASs mission to support and advance Nordic Asia scholarship. Beyond
nurturing new Nordic authors through the publication process, the Press offers workshops and
seminars on getting published to early-career scholars. In both ways, NIAS has launched the
academic careers of a significant number of Nordic scholars who have gone on to fill senior
positions at home and abroad, both inside and outside of academia.
We are mindful of our Nordic mission but authors from (say) Australia and Myanmar get
exactly the same personal attention from NIAS Press. We are proud of our local roots but celebrate our global presence.
