/The *Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences* was founded in 1958 and 
is China's oldest institution for the humanities and social sciences. It 
is the country's second largest such institution, after the Chinese 
Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) in Beijing. Besides funds from the 
municipal government of Shanghai, the academy draws financial support 
from non-governmental sources at home and abroad. //As a 
leading think-tank academic institution in China, its research findings 
and publications have been particularly influential with policy-makers 
as well as with the wider public. SASS has 17 institutes and 27 
interdisciplinary centers that conduct theoretical research and applied 
studies in the humanities and social sciences./
