This series includes academic work examining and analyzing issues related to history, literature, philosophy, culture, society, and religion in China, translated from the original Chinese volumes. These works are invaluable to China Studies scholars and Sinologists, and at the same time enable students and scholars in disciplines outside of those fields to become acquainted with works that are highly influential in mainland China.

This series focuses on the manifold commercial, human, political-diplomatic and scientific interactions that took place across the continental (overland) and maritime Silk Routes. This includes exchanges of ideas, knowledge, religions, and the transfer of cultural traditions, including forms of migration. Geographically speaking the series covers networks (or routes) across the Eurasian continent, the broader Indian Ocean (from East Asia as far as Africa), and the Asia-Pacific world, that is, trans-Pacific connections from Asia to the American continent. A special interest lies in the history of science and technology and knowledge transfer along and across these routes.
The series focuses particularly on historical topics but contemporary studies are also welcome.
Scholarly reference works on the histories and cultures of Southeast Asia.

Scholarly works, bibliographies and research tools pertaining to the art and archaeology of Ancient Near East and Asia. This series has been discontinued.

Issues in Contemporary Chinese Thought and Culture is intended to acquaint readers outside of the People’s Republic of China with Chinese thinkers’ and scholars’ writings on contemporary problems of China and the world. Except among specialists, little is known outside of China of the ways in which Chinese intellectuals view similar issues. This series is intended to overcome at least some of the gap that separates the world outside from the world of thought in China.

The series will include edited volumes, organized around issues of debate among Chinese intellectuals and scholars. At times the series will also feature works of theoretical importance by Chinese intellectuals and scholars, as well as edited volumes that bring together Chinese and non-Chinese scholars and intellectuals in the discussion of issues of concern, mostly around the themes outlined above.

The series is a joint effort of two publishing houses: Brill in the Netherlands, and Chongqing Publishing Group from the PRC. It is supported institutionally by the Center for Comparative Politics and Economics in Beijing.
