Features: In the 20th century, the social sciences made unprecedented progress in both theoretical and methodological development, as well as in the institutionalization of disciplines, playing a significant role in helping humanity address and manage its social and behavioral issues. However, with the new developments in human society in the second half of the 20th century and the expansion of human activities, social science research has inevitably had to continuously update its theories and methods, review previous research in the field, and seriously confront the new challenges posed by the new century. The articles in this book are selected from the social science-related sections of Social Sciences Abroad published since 2000. They include summaries of the development of single disciplines, new theories and schools of thought emerging alongside new research topics, as well as reflections and preparations for the future by the field as a whole. This collection represents the achievements of Chinese scholars in researching, exploring, and promoting social science research abroad at the turn of the century.
