Features: In the past, there were not many works by Japanese authors on modern and contemporary Japanese society that were introduced, and the number was very limited, nor were they systematic. Given this situation, the research team focused on a large number of new achievements, while also taking the fundamental principle and direction of building "Chinese Japanese studies" as their starting point for selection. The translated series roughly includes the following three types of works: 1. Those belonging to the general theory of sociology. 2. Sociological theoretical analyses of Japanese society. 3. Studies on the characteristics of modern Japanese society using sociological methods. The selected works in this book are mostly new academic works published after the 1990s, which have been highly regarded in the Japanese academic community, and some are even academic bestsellers. In terms of categories, they cover multiple branches of sociology, such as sociological theory, family studies, sociocultural studies, socio-economic studies, gender studies, urban studies, and so on.
