Böcker av Cong Cao

Cong Cao presents a comprehensive and systematic analysis of how China's policy toward research and commercialization of genetically modified crops has evolved that explains how China's changing GMO stances reflect its shifting position on the world stage.

China is in the midst of transitioning from a manufacturing-based economy to one driven by innovation and knowledge. In this up-to-date investigation, leading experts evaluate China's state-led approach to science and technology and provide a comprehensive analysis of which policies have contributed to its successes and failures, and its future--

In less than thirty years, China has become a major force in the global economy. One feature of its rapid ascent has been an enormous expansion of the country's science and technology capabilities, leading to the emergence of a large and increasingly well-educated talent pool. Yet China finds itself engaged in an internal debate as to whether its full potential can be realised. At the heart of this debate lie a number of uncertainties surrounding the quality, quantity and effective utilisation of China's S&T workforce. Written by two leading experts in the field, this book is the first in forty years to address these critical issues. Building on exciting new research and a plethora of comprehensive statistical materials, its findings will have significant policy implications both for China and the international community, especially in terms of issues relating to national competitiveness and innovation potential.

This book is a study of scientists holding membership of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Cao, among other things, examines the social stratification system of the Chinese science community.
