Within a movement towards the circulation and globalisation of knowledge, new centres and new peripheries form and new hierarchies appear - more or less discretely - producing competition and rivalry in the development of “new” knowledge. Centres of gravity in social sciences have been displaced towards Asia, especially China. We have entered a period of de-westernization of knowledge and co-production of transnational knowledge. This is a scientific revolution in the social sciences which imposes detours, displacements, reversals. It means a turning point in the history of social sciences. From the Chinese experience in sociology the author is opening a Post-Western Space where after Post-Colonial Studies, she is speaking about the emergence of a Post-Western Sociology.

"Post-Western Revolution in Sociology: from China to Europe de Laurence Roulleau-Berger est plus qu’un diagnostic argumenté de l’état actuel de la production de savoirs sociologiques. Il s’agit d’une réflexion fine et perspicace sur les processus ayant conduit à ce que l’auteure définit comme Post-Western Sociology." Svetla Koleva, in L'Année sociologique, Vol.68 (January 2018)
