Philippine Social Sciences: Capacities, Directions, and Challenges

Inspired by the 2010 World Social Science Report,  PSSC endeavored to produce the Philippine Social Science Report that builds on previous efforts of the PSSC to assess the state of social sciences in the country. Earlier initiatives included a three-volume Philippine encyclopedia of social sciences (1993) which documents the institutionalization of the social science disciplines in Philippine higher education, and the two-volume Philippine social sciences in the life of the nation (1999, 2001) which examines the role played by the social sciences in advancing the national development agenda as discussed in the National Social Science Congress held in 1998.
