Jiangnan Social University (Chinese: 江南社会学院) is school of intelligence tradecraft operated by the Ministry of State Security (MSS) of the People's Republic of China.

Sometimes called Institute of Cadre Management Suzhou by Western observers, the school was intended to be an annex of the University of International Relations, but instead has become an MSS training facility.

[1] Originally intended to be an annex of the University of International Relations in Beijing, the school instead reportedly teaches courses in intelligence tradecraft, such as firearms, martial arts, driving, communications, and surveillance skills to MSS cadres in courses lasting up to a year.

[3] Since 1999, the school has published the Journal of Jiangnan Social University (Chinese: 江南社会学院学报杂志; pinyin: Jiāngnán Shèhuì Xuéyuàn Xuébào Zázhì), featuring articles primarily on the topics of national security, Chinese communist ideology, and international relations, as well as incorporating discussions on the exploitation of emerging technologies, social control, ethnic religion, and critical theory.
