      abstract = {This volume analyses the transition of Chinese medicine  during the modern era, and the development of product and  service niches in selected countries: China, Malaysia,  Japan and the Philippines. By investigating the major  actors behind the transition, it explores in what way and  to what extent these actors affect the transition. It  argues that the transnational transition of Chinese  medicine is caused not only by spontaneous cultural and  social factors, i.e. population growth, technological  innovation and acculturation, but also by hegemonic  political and economic factors such as Western influence,  adoption of the philosophy of modern state, and global  commodification of indigenous medical specialties.
