China Social Science Monographs (EB-CSSM)

Collection of e-Books from Social Sciences Academic Press, an award-winning publisher for the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences

Founded as a publishing house for the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in 1985, Social Sciences Academic Press (SSAP, 社会科学文献出版社) has built a reputation for high-quality research and analysis. Publishing 200-600 new books per year, SSAP has built a significant backfile dating back to 1987. SSAP’s titles cover law, anthropology, media studies, economics, sociology, political science, Marxist thought, finance, governance, and more. All books are downloadable as PDFs and hosted in the United States in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

China Social Science Monographs (EB-CSSM), along with China Social Science Journals (UDB-CSSJ), represents a new frontier in direct access to original Chinese-language resources available to North America and stored on North American servers. These new collections build on East View’s past partnership with SSAP to aggregate and host pishu through East View’s China Economy, Public Policy, and Security Database (EB-PISHU).
