That book is a massive sociological study of academic Sociology. There is no detailed summary in English, but the PDF of the review is online. I just ran it through Google Translate.

And in every section (France, USA, UK, Germany, Russia) they explain how promotion works, how selection of researchers works, what the managers or professors pay attention to, and so on. So this works as an explanation of internals of entire academia.
