The role of sociology in the transformation of Chinese society
At a time of profound social change, China faces fundamental questions about the nature of its society and the balance between the state, the market, and the community. Key questions arise: How is contemporary society defined and how does it function? What is the right path to reform essential non-profit institutions, such as those in education and healthcare, which are distinct from government and business institutions?
Furthermore, the challenge of building strong communities and transforming these organizations still requires further exploration and clarity, both in theory and practice. This book by Li Peilin, translated by Chenxi Luo and Luciana Denardi and published in collaboration with the Social Sciences Academic Press of China, is a fundamental contribution to understanding this process.
