Journal

Statement of Purpose

The goal of WICS will be pursued by encouraging and studying political and economic reform in both countries (USA & PRC). We will do research on such issues which we hope will be of mutual interest and publishing these findings in the Journal of WICS. The Journal welcomes manuscripts from authors around the world interested in all aspects of US-PRC relations. To the extent that these two countries can view each other as allies and not adversaries it would enable both countries to focus on world terrorism as the major threat to social stability. This would allow both countries to reduce defense expenditures targeted at major conventional conflict. Reduced defense spending would enable both countries to reduce the burden of taxation on their population or divert government spending to paying for other more essential government programs. We hope these papers demonstrate the diversity of our authors, their views and the areas of interest for a wide readership in both countries. Our articles will be topical and of current interest because of their importance. We hope the Journal of WICS fills a need and serves the purposes we project.
