CHINESE SOCIOLOGY: SINICISATION AND GLOBALISATION
View through CrossRef
The way in which the transfer of Western sociology to China took shape raised not only the question `What can sociology do for China?' but also the reverse question `What can China do for sociology?'. The article poses the thesis that the striving of Chinese sociologists towards a sinicisation of sociology led to a learning process about Western sociology's cultural and civilisational ties. It describes the conditions of Chinese sociology on the basis of exogenic modernisation and within the extreme realms of different cultures, and outlines a discussion on the sinicisation and globalisation of sociology among Chinese sociologists in Taiwan, Hong Kong, the United States of America and the People's Republic of China during the 1980s.
