This book examines the role of experts and expertise in the
dynamics of globalisation since the mid-nineteenth century. It
shows how engineers, scientists and other experts have acted as
globalising agents, providing many of the materials and
institutional means for world economic and technical integration.
Focusing on the study of international connections, Technology and
Globalisation illustrates how expert practices have shaped the
political economies of interacting countries, entire regions and
the world economy. This title brings together a range of approaches
and topics across different regions, transcending
nationally-bounded historical narratives. Each chapter deals with a
particular topic that places expert networks at the centre of the
history of globalisation. The contributors concentrate on central
themes including intellectual property rights, technology transfer,
tropical science, energy production, large technological projects,
technical standards and colonial infrastructures. Many also
consider methodological, theoretical and conceptual issues.
