Since the founding in 1660 of the Royal Society, London, scientists
engaging in experimental research have sought to establish a base
for exploratory work in communities and their political
institutions. This connection between science and the national
state has only grown stronger during the past two centuries. Here,
historians, sociologists, and jurists discuss the history of that
relationship since 1800, asking such key questions as how have
scientists conceived of the national setting for their
transnational work in the past, and how do they situate their work
in the context of globalization? Taken together, the essays reveal
that while nineteenth-century scientists in many countries felt
they had to fight for public recognition of their work, the
twentieth century witnessed the national endorsement and planning
of science. With essays ranging from an analysis of speeches by
nineteenth-century German university presidents to the state of
science in the context of European integration, this book will
appeal to anyone interested in the public and political role of
science and its institutions in the past, present, and future.
