In the second half of the nineteenth century a new kind of social
and cultural actor came to the fore: the expert. During this period
complex processes of modernization, industrialization,
urbanization, and nation-building gained pace, particularly in
Western Europe and North America. These processes created new forms
of specialized expertise that grew in demand and became
indispensible in fields like sanitation, incarceration, urban
planning, and education. Often the expertise needed stemmed from
problems at a local or regional level, but many transcended
nation-state borders. Experts helped shape a new transnational
sphere by creating communities that crossed borders and languages,
sharing knowledge and resources through those new communities, and
by participating in special events such as congresses and world
fairs.
