Global Science and National Sovereignty: Studies in Historical
Sociology of Science provides detailed case studies on how
sovereignty has been constructed, reaffirmed, and transformed in
the twentieth century by the construction of scientific
disciplines, knowledge practices, and research objects.
Interrogating the relationship of the sovereign power of the nation
state to the scientist's expert knowledge as a legitimating - and
sometimes challenging - force in contemporary society, this book
provides a staggering range of case studies in its exploration of
how different types of science have transformed our understanding
of national sovereignty in the last century. From biochemical
sciences in Russia, to nuclear science in the US and Europe, from
economics in South Asia, to climatology in South America, each
chapter demonstrates the role that scientists play in the creation
of nation-states and international organizations. With an array of
experts and scholars, the essays in Global Science and National
Sovereignty: Studies in Historical Sociology of Science offer a
complete redefinition of the modern concept of sovereignty and an
illuminating reassessment of the role of science in political life.
