Summary This book is the first monograph to study the processes of establishing and reconstructing the academician system, and the landmark events in the history of science and technology in 20th century China. It also provides new insights to help us understand the process of scientific institutionalization in modern China. Drawing on detailed archive records, it discusses the process of the establishment of the Academia Sinica's academician system in the Republic of China, as well as the unique and tortuous transformation process from members of the Academic Divisions to academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the People's Republic of China. These play an important part of China's modernization process, and reflect scientific institutionalization in China. The book also highlights the fact that under the leadership of the government, the academic elite became participants in the construction of national academic system after the founding of the People's Republic of China
Notes " ... I published a Chinese-language version of the book 'The Establishment and Reconstruction of the Academician System in China.' This book is the English version of that monograph. The framework of the original book has been slightly adjusted, and errors in the original book have been corrected. The contents of the original book have also been simplified due to space limitations"--Acknowledgements
