CHINESE SOCIOLOGY State-Building and the Institutionalization of Globally Circulated Knowledge
Hon Fai Chen
Sociology Transformed Series editors John Holmwood School of Sociology and Social Policy University of Nottingham Nottingham, UK Stephen Turner Department of Philosophy University of South Florida Tampa, USA “In this concise and well-researched book, Chen Hon-Fai offers a fascinating new conspectus of the discipline’s history and current situation. The role of the state and transnational networks in shaping Chinese sociology are carefully analyzed. So too are the attempts of several pioneering individuals to indigenize the discipline. Everywhere, the turbulent politics of China affects the sociological scene. A stimulating contribution to the study of sociology as a global phenomenon, Chen Hon-Fai’s probing new book is highly recommended.” —Peter Baehr, Professor of Social Theory, Lingnan University, Hong Kong “Chinese Sociology is an essential analysis of the development of the discipline on mainland China, adding to the existing literature on Hong Kong and Taiwan with a historical imagination informed by an institutional perspective. Drawing thoughtfully on the best current work in the sociology of ideas and knowledge, Chen Hon-Fai manages to think comparatively and sociologically about mainland Chinese sociology while also highlighting the contributions of the most important Chinese scholars and their distinctive ideas, findings, research programs and institution building successes and challenges.” —Neil McLaughlin, Professor of Sociology, McMaster University, Canada
The field of sociology has changed rapidly over the last few decades. Sociology Transformed seeks to map these changes on a country by country basis and to contribute to the discussion of the future of the subject. The series is concerned not only with the traditional centres of the discipline, but with its many variant forms across the globe.
