interviews that are very intelligently included in each chapter of the book according to the topic under consideration. In these interviews, Ezzatyar opens up very interesting dimensions for the reader with the questions he raises. The third point is that this book in spite of a lot of academic information, is very suitable for non-academic readers too, and even at the beginning of the book, all the words that may be unfamiliar to the reader are explained in the glossary section, and the interviews that given an attractive dimension to the book, making it attractive for non-academic readers too and even regarding the pictures and graphs of the book, it should be said that the few pictures and diagrams given in the book are very appropriate and help a lot to the reader’s visual understanding and provide statistical information about migration. The number of graphs is not so large as to confuse the reader by providing too much statistical information but is only used in parts that convey the necessary statistical information more easily. Since a large population of Jews in Israel is made up of Iranian Jews, and however, due to the wide-ranging political problems that the two governments of Iran and Israel have with each other, the identity crisis among this immigrant group can be studied and discussed, which the writer shortly mentions in some parts of the book, but it creates questions for further studies in the minds of the readers. In fact, this book can be a stepping stone to extensive sociological, political, ideological, and religious research on the Iranian diaspora in Israel. It can be said that this book for all those who are interested in studying migrations, diasporas, the Middle East, and social and political subjects, can be recognized as a valuable resource.

This review provides a critical exploration of four key books in sociology of homosexuality published in mainland China since 2000, namely Wei Wei’s Going Public (2012), Queering Chinese Society (2015), Xiaoxing Fu’s Space, Culture and Performance (2012), and Qingfeng Wang’s Homosexuality Studies (2017). We identify three important themes from the books: space, family, and identity. Based on this, we demonstrate two characteristics of the sociology of homosexuality in twenty-first-century China, with its focus on the theoretical potentials of the Chinese case and its combination of sociological perspectives and multidisciplinary approaches.

informative, and accessible book with insights relevant for academics working in various disciplines – namely, history, political science, and sociology – as well as for politicians, practitioners, activists, veterans, veterans’ organizations, and the public. While the politics of veteran benefits of the twenty-first century may markedly differ from those of the twentieth century, the empirical and theoretical insights presented in this book will be informative and insightful for those who wish to understand or affect them.

This review article analyses six texts within the sociology of organizations published in the early decades of the twenty-first century with a view to exploring what they tell us about the key issues and developmental trajectories the former will follow as this century unfolds. It suggests that the sociology of organizations is in good intellectual shape and continues to speak to issues which are central to our lives today and tomorrow. However, it also indicates that intellectual rejuvenation through contestation must be sustained within the field – particularly in the face of pressures towards intellectual closure and conformity – if it is to retain its relevance at a time when instability and uncertainty seem to be pervasive.

The author maintains a strict attention by adhering to and reproducing the subject(s) in the book’s title. A dialogue between internationalization and indigenization leads the author to determine three interrelated ecological systems in the development of Tsinghua’s sociology: departmental, institutional, and national. While these systems inform Tsinghua’s ‘national’ mission and endeavor, they are not dislodged from global trends and remain responsive to global factors. Therefore, Tsinghua’s effort to achieve a ‘Sociology with Chinese Characteristics’ is oppressed by challenges chief of which is that the university, the sociology department and its scholars are all forces for internationalization. Xie describes such situation as ‘double shackles’ in which scholars have encountered institutional and cultural dilemmas in their struggles to balance global and national/local demands while constructing their discipline and international influence. Previous research has focused upon internationalization at the university level without going further to investigate a particular academic discipline, which makes this book significant. The details provided are too extensive to exhaustively embrace in this review. Immense effort, accurate analysis and substantial referencing makes this book an outstanding read overall.

This book based on the author’s PhD thesis, read at the University of Hong Kong, is forwarded by the author’s academic supervisor, Professor Rui Yang, who maps out the book’s objectives. Yang explicates that the book attempts ‘to make a holistic exploration of the current state of development of the social sciences in China’s premier universities by taking Tsinghua University’s sociology as a case’ (viii). Yang’s ‘Forward’ is accurately reflected in the author’s comprehensive analysis; including presenting theoretical considerations on the development of social sciences in a global context of asymmetrical academic relations across knowledge systems. The book registers the historical trajectory of the disciplinary evolution of China’s social sciences under the influence of internationalization, and scrutinizes the complex academic relations between various forces during different historical periods (Forward). Tsinghua University is selected as a case study for various reasons. Justifying that ‘the Chinese higher education system is marked by a hierarchical structure that positions institutions “according to their function and goals”’ (p. 15). It is acknowledged that Tsinghua and Tsinghua’s Sociology fits this criterion. Besides, Tsinghua occupies a close historical and contemporary nexus with Western universities, which allows Tsinghua to cultivate research and talent ‘above those of the average Chinese university’ (p. 16). Tsinghua also is a unique case due to its distinct disciplinary development trajectory in the social sciences throughout the past century. Tsinghua’s sociology, the author argues, was ranked fourth in China (CDGDC, 2017). Additionally, from 2015 to 2018 it was consistently among the top 51–100 in the world, based on QS World University Rankings by Subject, despite having only 14 faculty members. 1138462 ISS0010.1177/02685809221138462International SociologyBook review research-article2022

This article deals with the notion of season, and illustrates an existing conflict, within organic agriculture, between symbolic and economic values. It takes the case of a polemic on the use of heating systems in greenhouse organic farming for tomato production. It asks and demonstrates how the organizations in and of market frame different seasonalities, either placing respect (symbolic value) for seasonality over economics, or vice versa. It identifies critical junctures that shaped the division in organic agriculture toward differing conception of seasonality, which oscillates between market logics in which its distinctiveness is (de)valued, symbolically and economically diminished or reasserted.

The article analyzes how the Global G.A.P. standard has contributed to the construction of a link between nature and agriculture and to a form of nature valuation that has strong historical roots in the process of agricultural modernization of the Region of Murcia. It explores how Global G.A.P. has created an institutional and normative space in which the interactions of human and non-human elements (technology, norms, procedures, nature values, institutions, objects and materials, etc.) are stabilized and conceived within the sphere of profitability. Based on secondary sources and in-depth interviews, the article first provides a brief explanation of the relationship between standards, values, and nature. Second, it examines the organizational and technological modernization of the farming industry in the Region of Murcia. The article finishes with a detailed description of how water, soil and fertilizer management are designed and controlled.

The comprehensive uptake of geographical indication (GI) worldwide suggests that global trade is at the threshold of mainstreaming protections for heritage agri-food specialties. The European GI model is in ascendance thanks to a campaign of institutional entrepreneurship that engendered a powerful macro-organization leading the rapid diffusion of sui generis GI. Through its success in recruiting the intellectual property regimes of most East Asian countries into the European orbit of trade and cultural production, it has become hegemonic, with the potential for ‘crowding out’ useful pre-existing mechanisms of heritage food protection or displacing exchange in agri-food specialties still embedded in the moral economy. Although this new global standard is shaped by the process of integration into new milieux, this paper finds that latent post-colonial tendencies in the European GI model and its poor capacity at self-reflection in the face of inefficiency compromises its potentially unifying role in the heritage food world order.

The current shift of regulations for animal welfare from public to private standards allows dairies and retailers to improve their position on the market. However, for easy communication and control they tend to reduce the multifaceted societal demands for animal welfare to freedom of movement, that is, to free stalls with or without access to pasture. Taking a farmers perspective, this contribution examines the situation in Austria, where structure and practices of dairy farming differ greatly between more favourable, arable, and mountainous regions. The theoretical concept of farming styles uncovers fundamental positions grounded in different understandings of how farming practices are supposed to be organized. Private standards privilege rationalized, large-scale dairy farms in advantaged regions over family-owned traditional farms in mountain areas. This may have unintended negative consequences on farming structure, land use and cultural landscape.
