It is a series of debates that aim to address the phenomenon of emerging Indigenous international relations theories in Asia and new political economy approaches to study Asia. It brings together young scholars around the world to engage in theoretical debates on the emerging Indigenous international relations (IR) theories in Asia new IR and global political economy (GPE) approaches to study Asia.

The series has covered diverse topics, including the emerging Chinese IR theories,  Southeast Asia-China relations, new political economy approaches to study capitalisms in Asia, the Belt and Road Initiative, power transition in light of a rising Asia, and Global IR.
