国际知名期刊最新研究集中译介， 紧扣社会学重点议题

Beyond Borders: Overseas Social Studies is edited by the Institute of Sociology at the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences. It primarily compiles and translates cutting-edge overseas social research, aiming to serve as a window for the Chinese academic community and readers to gain insight into overseas societies.

This volume covers research on the United States, Japan, Europe, Latin America, and transnational studies, organized around four thematic areas: Family, Marriage, and Gender; Schools, School Districts, and Education; Social Stratification and Inequality; and Public Services and Social Governance. It offers significant documentary value and scholarly reference - useful for understanding overseas societies, reflecting on Chinese society, conducting cross-national comparisons, and advancing disciplines such as comparative sociology and area studies.

《边界之外：海外社会研究》由上海社会科学院社会学研究所主编，主要编译海外社会研究前沿文献，致力于成为国内学界和读者了解海外社会的一扇窗口。

本辑覆盖美国、日本、欧洲、拉丁美洲及跨国研究，分为四个主题：家庭、婚姻与性别，学校、学区与教育，社会分层与不平等，公共服务与社会治理。这对于了解海外社会、反观中国社会、开展跨国比较，以及推动比较社会学、区域国别学等学科的发展，具有重要的资料价值和参考意义。
