The books are produced ‘on demand’ but with the fine quality of production associated with Brill: they are ready for dispatch within a few days of ordering and will be available for as long as there is a single customer for them. We are sure that established scholars will be interested: why not try them out yourself.

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.
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.
