Looking at Chinese Singaporean employees at a French  multi-national firm, the author explores the evolving social constructions of  ‘Chineseness’. Sociologist  Manuel Castells once hailed Singapore as ‘the only true Leninist project that  has survived’, and Lee\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003erevisits the Singapore ‘social laboratory’,  addressing recent dialectics that transpire within the global political  economy. Currently,  professional actors need to address the demands of dual hegemony in response  to China’s  rise in the Western-dominated capitalist political economy. Underlying these constructions  are enduring dispositions that mediate interpretations of professionalism. The  author puts to test the potential for change, surveying a large cohort of  teachers as makers of future professionals. The question is, does change occurin the domain of practice or the habitus, if it is possible in the first  place? \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe book will be of interest to scholars and students with an interest  in Sociology, Identity and Ethnicity, Business  Management, Globalisation, Organizational Sociology and Sociology of  Education. \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-12-20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137582577\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-58258-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 262\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752489283724,"sku":"9781137582577","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137582577.jpg?v=1775961426","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137582577","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
