Chinese Scholarship on Central Asia

This database collects academic books and articles by Chinese scholars about Central Asia. 

The entries were collected primarily from the CNKI (China National knowledge Infrastructure) database and the abstracts and titles have been translated into English to make the texts easiest to search on the Oxus Society website. The inclusion criteria for the database are the following:

  • Single or multiple author monographs;
  • Works of non-fiction within the social sciences and humanities;
  • Authored or co-authored by at least one person who was born in Central Asia;
  • Published since 1991;
  • Published in any language.

The database showcases the increasingly diverse range of topics explored by China’s Central Asianists and reveal the growing sophistication of Central Asian studies in China. 

We update the database on a continuing basis as new work is published and we discover missing entries. This database is far from comprehensive, but it is our hope that the project will grow over time into an invaluable resource for scholars and practitioners working on the region.
