The S&T policy changes in post-Mao China cannot be complete without a historical narrative and analysis of S&T in its pre-policy (prior to 1850) and policy (since 1850 when the Qing rulers began to promote S&T) periods. This book is an imperative to revisit and interrogate the nature and scope of Chinese S&T policy and progress. The text is divided into three parts. The first part considers both the macro and micro issues pertaining to S&T policy in general and S&T policy in particular. The second part highlights the historical narrative of Chinese S&T policy as it has a key role in the evolution of contemporary S&T architecture. The third part discusses three focal components of the Chinese S&T system each representing state, society and international systems – the organizational structure representing the state; the research system representing society; and technology acquisition representing the international system with serious implications for China.
