| Series on Contemporary China | (ISSN: 1793-0847) |
| Series Editors: | Joseph Fewsmith (Boston University) Zheng Yongnian (East Asian Institute, National University of Singapore) |
This series showcases the most significant and lasting contributions to scholarship in the studies of China’s politics, society, and culture — whether for general readers or specialists. Each of the volumes is a quality work by a leading scholar or scholars in the field and may take the form of a research monograph, a multi-author edited volume, a conference proceeding, a textbook, or an annual review, among others. While the focus is on China, the series does not lose sight of the interplay of other regional and global forces and their influence and impact on China.
