■說明

  1. 中央研究院人文社會科學研究中心所發行之《人文及社會科學集刊》預計出版「南島及帛琉研究特刊」，特此公開徵稿。
  2. 《人文及社會科學集刊》經國家科學及技術委員會評鑑為人文社會科學期刊綜合類第一級。為增進讀者與作者的對話交流，自 2018 年起，已陸續展開各類主題之特刊徵稿。
  3. 南島國家（Austronesian nations）是指以「南島語系」為主要語言、或是其居民主要由「南島民族」所組成的國家，範圍涵蓋東南亞（印尼、菲律賓、馬來西亞、汶萊、東帝汶）、大洋洲（波里尼西亞［紐西蘭、薩摩亞、東加、庫克群島、法屬玻里尼西亞、夏威夷］、美拉尼西亞［斐濟、索羅門群島、萬那杜、巴布亞紐幾內亞］、密克羅尼西亞［密克羅尼西亞聯邦、帛琉、馬紹爾群島］）、印度洋（馬達加斯加）與東亞（臺灣、海南島）。根據語言學和考古學的研究，臺灣很可能是南島語族的原鄉。在目前臺灣的 12 個邦交國中，帛琉、吐瓦魯和馬紹爾群島 3 國都是屬於南島國家，由於他們位於重要的戰略地理位置，又與臺灣和美國之間有著緊密的關係，在近年來也成為中美競爭的熱點區域之一，帛琉更是少數願意在國際上為臺灣大力發聲的重要夥伴。然而，即便南島國家與帛琉在文化上和政治上與臺灣有著密切的關係，臺灣的學界對於南島國家與帛琉的研究卻相對缺乏。有鑑於此，本刊特成立「南島及帛琉研究特刊」，徵求臺灣學界各個領域有關南島國家與帛琉的相關研究，希望豐富我們對於這個地區各個層面的理解。
  4. 自即日起至 2026 年 9 月 1 日止，針對「南島國家與帛琉」在海洋史、政治思想與哲學、經濟學、經驗政治、社會學、社會福利等領域以及跨領域之中、英文稿件，請於線上投稿系統「南島及帛琉研究特刊」專區投稿。我們將儘速安排以本刊一貫標準進行審查。
  5. 如屆時未能達到收錄四篇之特刊最低數量，則已接受刊登的論文將以一般論文形式出版，不影響作者權益。

Journal of Social Sciences and Philosophy (JSSP) Special Issue: Austronesian and Palau Studies

Call for Papers

Guest Editors

Tse-kang Leng (Research Fellow of Institute of Political Science of Academia Sinica, Joint-appointment Professor of Political Science at National Chengchi University)

Chien-wu Alex Hsueh (Professor, Graduate Institute of East Asian Studies, National Chengchi University)

 

About the Journal

The Journal of Social Sciences and Philosophy (JSSP) is published quarterly by the Research Center for Humanities and Social Sciences (RCHSS), Academia Sinica. It is a leading journal indexed in the Taiwan Social Sciences Core Index (TSSCI).

 

About the Special Issue

Austronesian nations refer to countries in which Austronesian languages constitute the primary linguistic system, or whose populations are predominantly composed of Austronesian peoples. This category spans a vast geographical area, including Southeast Asia (Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, and Timor-Leste); Oceania—comprising Polynesia (New Zealand, Samoa, Tonga, the Cook Islands, French Polynesia, and Hawaii), Melanesia (Fiji, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and Papua New Guinea), and Micronesia (the Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, and the Marshall Islands); the Indian Ocean (Madagascar); and East Asia (Taiwan and Hainan Island).

According to research in linguistics and archaeology, Taiwan is widely considered a likely homeland of the Austronesian language family. Among Taiwan’s current twelve diplomatic allies, three—Palau, Tuvalu, and the Marshall Islands—are Austronesian nations. Due to their strategic geographic locations and their close relationships with both Taiwan and the United States, these countries have in recent years become one of the focal regions of U.S.–China strategic competition. Notably, Palau stands out as one of the few countries that has consistently and actively voiced strong support for Taiwan in the international arena.

Despite the close cultural and political ties between Taiwan, Austronesian nations, and Palau, scholarly research on these countries within Taiwan remains relatively limited. In light of this gap, this journal is launching a “Special Issue on Austronesian and Palau Studies,” and invites contributions from scholars across disciplines in Taiwan on topics related to Austronesian nations and Palau, with the aim of enriching our understanding of this region from multiple perspectives.

 

Submission Process

From now until September 1, 2026, this journal invites submissions in both Chinese and English on “Austronesian Nations and Palau.” We welcome manuscripts in the fields of maritime history, political thought and philosophy, economics, empirical political science, sociology, social welfare, as well as interdisciplinary research.

Please submit your manuscript via the JSSP submission system (http://jssp.rchss.sinica.edu.tw/) under the “Special Issue on Austronesian and Palau Studies” section. The format of submissions must comply with submission guidelines posted on the JSSP website: https://www.rchss.sinica.edu.tw/jssp/posts/6005. All submissions will be reviewed in accordance with the journal’s standard peer-review procedures as promptly as possible.
