Founded in 1958, the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences is China's oldest institution for the humanities and social sciences. As a leading think-tank and distinguished academic institution in the country, its research findings and publications have been particularly influential with policy-makers and the public.
In 2009, the academy established a Think Tank Research Center as the country’s first academic institution focusing on think tank research. Since 2011, members of the center have been invited to participate in the research of the Global Go To Think Tank Report. It released its China Think Tank Report in January 2014, the first of its kind in the country.
