Chinese Research Perspectives Online
- The former Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Yearbooks have become part of the Chinese Research Perspectives series. As before the focus is on the six research areas: Economy, Education, Environment, Law, Population and Labor, and Society. The selection of contributions covers developments in China of particular interest to a Western (non-Chinese speaking) audience and occasionally differs from the Chinese-language yearbooks. The selected materials continue to provide Western readers with firsthand insights into the discussions of China’s top scholars on contemporary issues in their country.
