  We present a recent study of the QCD corrections to dilepton production near
partonic threshold in transversely polarized \bar{p}p scattering. We analyze
the role of the higher-order perturbative QCD corrections in terms of the
available fixed-order contributions as well as of all-order soft-gluon
resummations for the kinematical regime of proposed experiments at GSI-FAIR. We
find that perturbative corrections are large for both unpolarized and polarized
cross sections, but that the spin asymmetries are stable. The role of the far
infrared region of the momentum integral in the resummed exponent and the
effect of the NNLL resummation are briefly discussed.
