Synopsis

This volume serves as a companion to Martin Albrow's previous book China's Role in the Shared Common Future: Towards Theory for Global Leadership (2018). It consists of essential selections of work on the theory and practice of globalization (Chapter 2) by the author, the British social theorist and pioneer of global studies, based on his 60-year academic career, which lays a solid theoretical foundation for this book. In the past 10 years, the author has paid much attention to the issue of global governance and China. The editor collected almost all the author's complete works in Chapters 3-6 including, academic papers and writings, newspaper articles, lectures, speech notes in academic and public conferences, academic and media dialogues or interviews and remarks for China's special occasions during this period. Together, they showcase the author's bidirectional engagements with Chinese academia, politics, publishers and media on practical themes such as fighting COVID-19, the BRI and lifting the Chinese out of poverty. They offer an insight into how China participates in the shaping of a global society, enabling readers to grasp the author's thoughts and opinions in the context of China in a global setting.

Based on the creative idea of the 'globalization of Chinese social sciences', the editor has brought together a large number of examples of the help given by the author over the past 40 years to Chinese scholars and professionals to fulfil their academic and social missions in China and the UK (Chapters 7-8). The last chapter exemplifies how to develop social theory with Chinese characteristics. In all, the book aims to encourage the globalization of Chinese social sciences and their incorporation into the sum of human knowledge.
