- An ambitious volume which reviews the entire phenomenon of
scientific internationalism and its significance for international
relations, the global market place, and for the development of
science policy. This book is a rich sourcebook of information
and analysis on the most significant periods in the growth of
scientific co-operation and on the leading world organizations
and institutions which have promoted this, such as Unesco, the
International Council of Scientific Unions, and the World Federation
of Scientific Workers. The effects of Cold War politics on the
international relations of science are explored, as are more
contemporary concerns such as European integration and global
climate change.
-
- As the relationship between science and society becomes ever
more complex, and often highly politicized, there is a profound
need for understanding of the real conditions under which trans-national
linkages in science are being developed. The present volume makes
an invaluable contribution to this understanding.
