Sommario/riassunto

This edited volume describes the intellectual world that developed in China in the last decade of the twentieth century. How, as China's



economy changed from a centrally planned to a market one, and as China opened up to the outside world and was influenced by the outside world, Chinese intellectual activity became more wide-ranging, more independent, more professionalized and more commercially oriented than ever before.  The future impact of this activity on Chinese civil society is discussed in the last chapter.
