Journal of China in Comparative Perspective (JCCP)
Journal of China in Comparative Perspective (JCCP) is the only peer-reviewed bilingual journal for social scientific, hamanities and comparative studies of China in the world, published quarterly in March, June, September and December in print (ISSN 2040-0837) by Global China Press from 2014. JCCP encourages contributors to put the material about China into comparative perspective in JCCP as much as they can. JCCP will not be simply about China (there are already a large amount of excellent China journals). It will be about looking at China from a comparative viewpoint as a player in broader patterns of development, ideas, movements, networks, and systems. Comparison includes taking China as a case study of a generally applicable theory, or drawing analytic conclusions from comparative data about China and some other country or context. The comparison may be regional or global, historical or contemporary, and it may involve a comparison of perceptions, China’s perceptions of others and others’ perceptions of China in the context of China’s encounter with the outside world in the political, economic, military, and cultural sense.

Chinese for Social Sciences
Chinese for Social Sciences – These are books for the study of the Chinese language, a branch of ‘Chinese for Specific Purposes’ (CSP), for example ‘Chinese for science and technology’ or ‘business Chinese’. They will include guidance and tuition on intermediate level reading, advanced level reading, analysis of difficult sentences in English–Chinese translation or in Chinese–English translation, dictionaries of dialect/loan words in English, and phrases/glossaries for the social sciences. It is in Chinese lanuage, edited by Dr Dongning Feng, Senior Lecturer in Translation Studies, SOAS, University of London, published by Global China Press.
Corpus Approach to Chinese Social Science
With the enhancement of interdisciplinary awareness, linguistic methods, such as corpus based discourse, has been applied to sociology, ethnography, cultural studies, psychology, cognitive science and computer science, etc. In the past decade Chinese social scientists are seeking for new methods in analyzing large quantity of texts in addition to quantitative and qualitative analysis. For example, the Contemporary China Social Life Data and Research Center (CCSLC), Fudan University has collected unique set of data on contemporary Chinese social life since 1949, consists of more than 210,000 personal correspondences, over 1,000 books of personal notes, diaries, huge information of the history of personal life, as well as large amount of interview notes, and monographs. It is inevitably adopted as a default resource for the research which language matters. Inspirited by the ESRC Centre of Corpus Approaches to Social Science (CASS) at Lancaster University, CCPN Global engages the CASS, the CCSLC of Fudan University and the RCDC (the Research Centre for Discourse and Communication, Zhejiang University of Media and Communication), together developing the programme of the CACSS. The marks starting point for launching the Corpus Approach to Chinese Social Science in order tointroduce related work and engage further discussions with people who are interested in this initiative.
Global China Dialogue proceedings series
Global China Dialogue (GCD) is series of event with the key concepts ‘transculturality’ and social creativity to enhance public understanding of current global affairs and common interests via public dialogue and discussion between Chinese and non-Chinese academics, experts, professionals and practitioners and interested laypeople, from interdisciplinary and comparative perspectives. The GCD proceedings series consists of collected work from each of the Global China Dialogue, founded in 2014. 
It organized collaboratively by CCPN Global, Lau China Institute, King’s College London,The China Media Centre, University of Westminster, and YES (The Young Entrepreneur Society). It is edited by Xiangqun Chang, Costanza Pernigotti and David Feng, publishes jointly between Global China Press and New World Press in English and Chinese dual languages. As a fruit of the year of 2015 UK-China Cultural Exchange, volume 1 of the Global China Dialogues Proceedings series is published in both English and Chinese. This volume will also be published in a combined English and Chinese edition, as will future volumes (right cover).
Global China Book Series
The idea of publishing the China and the Chinese in Comparative Perspective Book Series is a further development of China in Comparative Perspective. It was originally suggested in 2012, by Professor Martin Albrow, Honorary Vice President of the British Sociological Association (BSA) and founding Editor of International Sociology, the idea was supported by Professor ZHENG Hangsheng, the then Honorary President of the Chinese Sociological Association (CSA) and formerly Vice President of Renmin University, China. The book series expanded further as the ‘Global China Book Series’, to be edited by leading scholars in each topic. Although Professor Zheng Hangsheng sadly passed away suddenly in November 2014, all the book series, described below, will nevertheless be published in English and Chinese from 2015 by Global China Press.
Transcultural Experiences with ‘Three Eyes’ – Over the past 500 years, the contacts and exchanges between China and the West are more and more intensive, but the depth of their mutual understanding is still subject to the limitations of various factors. Due to differences in history, culture and ideological confrontation, there are still misunderstandings and even prejudices against each other. The authors of this series are Chinese, either from mainland China or Overseas Chinese, or non Chinese, offering three dimensions or perspectives (three eyes), namely time, space and place, to examine their transcultural experiences comparatively themselves, China, or the countries where they live.
Globalization of Chinese Social Sciences –
China Urbanization Studies – Joseph Eugene Stiglitz, laureate of the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, once named urbanization in China and the new technical revolution led by the United States as the two great events shaping the world of the 21st century. British specialist Tom Miller refers to China’s urbanization as “the greatest migration in human history.”This book series will select the best work on Chinese urbanization from inside and outside China, featuring Chinese and non-Chinese perspectives and empirical and policy-oriented studies, as well as macroscopic and microscopic research.
Chinese Concepts – This consists include two parts: native Chinese concepts and other concepts seen from a Chinese perspective. For example, ‘society building’ was proposed by Chinese scholars based on studies of Chinese society. It made a contribution to the existing general sociological concept ‘community building. For the latter, every concept is required to have a review section on studies of non-Chinese society in order to form a contrast with the Chinese perspective. It is expected this book series will make additions to related existing studies from studying of Chinese society.
Chinese Discourse – Based on Chinese social scientific material and systematic documentation of Chinese usage patterns and methodological innovations, this book series will focus on society, culture, social interaction, communication, etc., from sociolinguistic, comparative and functionalist perspectives, discourse and conversation analysis, corpus linguistics, cognitive linguistics and typological studies. It will explore interactive mechanisms between Chinese discourse and global discourse.
Understanding China and the World – This series presents and promotes understanding of China and the world comprehensively from Chinese and non-Chinese perspectives, for example putting China in the context of globalization and other world issues.
Understanding Chinese People –
Other book series are under development, e.g.
- Chinese Academy – This series will conduct a comprehensive review, within a global framework, of Chinese academic achievements at home and abroad over a hundred years since the foundation of the Republic of China. It will be divided into three series: disciplines (social sciences, natural sciences, humanities); countries and regions; and interdisciplinary research themes (e.g. 20 topics from the Journal of China in Comparative Perspective).
- Chinese Thoughts – Each of the books will focus on a topic that non-Chinese social scientists or scholars have not covered, in order to present a contrast between Chinese and non-Chinese thinking in relevant areas
- Chinese Experiences – Selected work from our Global China Forums will be published in this book series, which stresses experiences of China’s modernization from a comparative perspective.
- China Studies – This book series was published in the 1980s by New World Press. It is the first such book series by Chinese scholars in English. It will be republished jointly by New World Press and Global China Press.
- Chinese Overseas Ethnographic Studies – These books are written in Chinese, edited by Gao Bingzhong and published by Peking University Press. Global China Press is commissioning translation for publication in English.

《社科汉语研究》
《社科汉语研究》 , 专门用途汉语 (CSP) 中的一个分支，如“科技汉语”或“商务汉语”。 近年来，英国学术院发表了三个报告：《语言很重要》(2009年)、《语言越来越重要》（2011年）和《语言：民族国家》(2013年)，并于2011 年发起了题为“说话的未来”的语言运动。全球中国比较研究会支持这一运动主要体现在在对语言后面的深层含义和综合理解方面。全球中国比较研究会与伦敦大学亚非学院中国和内亚语言文化系正在研发“社科汉语”项目。社科汉语”即特定用途汉语（CSP）的一个 分支，如“科技汉语”或“商务汉语”。《社科汉语研究》为中文版，包括两部分：阅读，翻译（英汉和汉英双 向互译）。由伦敦大学翻译中心前主任、冯东宁博士主编，全球中国出版社出版。
《中国社科语料库研究》
随着跨学科意识的提高，语言学方法，如基于语料库的话语，已应用在社会学、人类学、民族学、文化研究、心理学、认知科学、计算机科学等等。在过去十年来，在定量和定性分析之外，中国社会科学家在寻找新的方法来分析大规模文本。比如，复旦大学当代中国社会生活资料研究中心已收集了从1949年起当代中国社会生活的一组独特的数据，包括21万多私人书信、1千多件个人笔记本、日记、关于私人生活巨量的信息，以及大量采访笔记、专著。它们自然成为了围绕着语言的研究的默认资源。受兰卡斯特大学英国社会科学语料库研究中心的启发，全球中国比较研究会联合该中心、复旦大学当代社会生活资料研究中心以及浙江传媒学院话语与传播研究中心一起，开发中国社会科学语料库研究项目。《中国社科语料库研究》将展示相关的信息和研究情况并与感兴趣者就相关议题进一步交流。
