Administrative history
Pacific Affairs is an international quarterly journal featuring articles on Asia and the Pacific's current political, economic, social, and diplomatic problems. The Institute of Pacific Relations initially published it from 1928 to 1960. After the Institute disbanded in 1960, IPR secretary‐general William Holland came to the University of British Columbia to head the Department of Asian Studies, bringing many of the IPR's records. As a result, Pacific Affairs was revived in March 1961, published by the University and Holland as editor. Since Holland's retirement in 1978, Pacific Affairs has been edited by Heath B. Chamberlain (1978‐85), R. Stephen Milne (1985‐88), Ian D. Slater (1988‐2002), and Timothy Cheek (2002‐ ).
