This book provides an empirical examination of the meso-level policy enactment of transnational higher education in the context of China.
China’s national policies have not been mechanically implemented at the sub-national level: the strategic enactment is always accompanied by great creativity, innovation, and/or even resistance. From the prism of Bourdieu’s relational sociology, this study moves away from the traditional centralization-decentralization model, or policy experiment hypothesis, to examine how Chinese local officials’ practices are simultaneously full of “invention and improvisation” and confined “within the constraints and limits initially set on its inventions”. By so doing, the book extends the application of Bourdieu’s thinking tools to the arena of critical policy analysis through the establishment of the internal structure to separate habitus and the practice it generated, thereby refuting any determinism or objectivism criticism to Bourdieu’s most contested concept habitus.
This book will be of great interest to Bourdieusian scholars with particular interests in higher education and sociologists of education more broadly.
