Professionals are a growing group in China and increasingly make
their presence felt in governance and civil society. At the same
time, however, professionals in the West are under increasing
pressure from commercialism or scepticism about their ability to
rise above self-interest. This book focuses on professionals in
China and asks whether developing countries have a fateful choice:
to embrace Western models of professional organization as they now
exist, or to set off on an independent path, adapting elements of
Western practices to their own historical and cultural situation.
In doing so, the authors in this volume discuss a wealth of issues,
including: the historic antecedents of modern Chinese
professionalism; the implications of professionalism as an import
in China; the impact of socialism, the developmental state and
rampant commercialism on the professions in China; and the
feasibility of liberal professions in an illiberal state. To
conclude, the book considers whether there might be an emerging
professionalism with Chinese characteristics, and how this might
have an impact on the professions elsewhere. Prospects for the
Professions in China will be of interest to students and scholars
of Chinese Studies, law, sociology, medical studies and cultural
studies.
