Can Science and Technology Save China? assesses the intimate
connections between science and society in China, offering an
in-depth look at how an array of sciences and technologies are
being made, how they are interfacing with society, and with what
effects. Focusing on critical domains of daily life, the chapters
explore how scientists, technicians, surgeons, therapists, and
other experts create practical knowledges and innovations, as well
as how ordinary people take them up as they pursue the good life.
Editors Greenhalgh and Zhang offer a rare, up-close view of the
politics of Chinese science-making, showing how everyday logics,
practices, and ethics of science, medicine, and technology are
profoundly reshaping contemporary China. By foregrounding the
notion of "governing through science," and the contested role of
science and technology as instruments of change, this timely book
addresses important questions regarding what counts as science in
China, what science and technology can do to transform China, as
well as their limits and unintended consequences.
