© L p i The launching of a new, highly visible and accessible peer reviewed journal on German and European Studies with a strong Asian perspective provides a twofold reason to celebrate: Not only does this journal constitute a promising and unique new platform for comparative and mutually inspiring scholarship on contemporary Germany, Europe and beyond. AJGES is also one of the many projects so impressively initiated by the Centre for German and European Studies at Chung-Ang University (ZeDES), which I was proud to welcome into the network of DAAD-funded Centres just recently. The fact that you are now reading the inaugural issue of this journal so shortly after ZeDES’ official launch is an exceptional sign of the enthusiasm, creativity and initiative that ZeDES has exhibited from day one.

ZeDES is the newest member of the DAAD’s network of Centres for German and European Studies and the nineteenth Centre to join. Since the programme’s conception in 1991, the DAAD has supported and initiated a wide range of Centres in North America, Europe, East Asia and Israel with the help of considerable funds provided by the German Federal Foreign Office. In East Asia, Centres were set up at the renowned universities Peking University in China, the University of Tokyo in Japan and now Chung-Ang University in Korea. Based at some of the most outstanding institutions of their respective host countries, the Centres focus on exploring issues regarding contemporary Germany in a European context, often acting as beacons for highly topical research relating to Germany both within their regions and beyond. In addition, the Centres’ innovative, interdisciplinary teaching programmes provide future generations of scholars and professionals with crucial expertise on Germany and Europe. Thus, the network is equipped with a unique potential: In highlighting the manifold interactions, conversions and links that connect Germany with the rest of Europe and Europe with other parts of the world the Centres, their scholars and their
