Summary:

The aim of this book is to provide the international readership a collection of articles authored by Chinese scholars on the subject of globalization and localization. In a world where no country is an island isolated from others, globalization is bound to be contested, debated, and de- and reconstructed at different levels across the international community. For this very reason, it is important to present this concept as developed, interpreted and discussed by the Chinese community.

The scope of this book is broad, ranging from theoretical reflection to more concrete opinions given by the Chinese academic community, and finally to case studies on globalization and localization. It includes eleven articles by leading Chinese scholars in the past decades.

The topics included in this volume cover areas such as universalism and ideology, cosmopolitanism, and multiculturalism, into which are read such Chinese perspectives as the "world structure", the idea of tianxia (all-under-heaven), and cultural subjectivity. On the top of these more theoretical discussions, this volume also contains concrete case studies, centering upon the China Model, cultural identity, ethnicity and regional income inequality.These topics will greatly enrich the global discourse on globalization and localization.
