The Cosmopolitanization of Science

Focussing on China's stem cell research, this book investigates how, over the last decade, Chinese scientists, ethicists and policy-makers have developed a cosmopolitan sensibility in comprehending and responding to ethical and regulatory concerns.

The book provides a trans-disciplinary readership with an original, detailed, nuanced and solid empirical account of a focus area in contemporary china. it is a laudable and invaluable pioneering work. This book makes a serious attempt to remind the research community of the need for an appropriate methodology. (Ole Döring, East Asian Science, Technology, and Medicine, Issue 40, 2014)
