English summary: This volume studies the links between politics and
science during the 20th century, based on the example of the large
US foundations. If the 20th century can be regarded in many ways as
the American Century, then the large US foundations such as
Carnegie, Rockefeller and Ford played a major role in this
development. And yet they weren't simply stooges for official US
power politics. The circumstances surrounding their actions were
much more complicated and made great demands of the philanthropy of
the day. This volume with articles in English and German shows the
course of US philanthropy in Europe in the time between the world
wars and following World War II; it demonstrates how Europe became
the setting for continually new versions of the postwar political
and scientific landscape. German text. German description: Wenn das
20. Jahrhundert in vielerlei Hinsicht als American Century gelten
darf, dann haben die grossen US-amerikanischen Stiftungen wie
Carnegie, Rockefeller und Ford einen erheblichen Anteil daran.
Deren globale Netzwerke wurden zu begehrten Instrumenten, um
amerikanische Ideen und Werte nach aussen zu tragen. Handelte es
sich bei den Stiftungen also nur um Handlanger des
US-amerikanischen Vorherrschaftsanspruchs? Ihre selbst gewahlte
Mission und die kritischen Erwartungen ihrer Forderkandidaten und
Partner vor Ort stellten ungleich subtilere Anspruche an das
philanthropische Geschaft. Dieser zweisprachige Band zeigt, wie die
US-Philanthropie vor allem im Zwischen- und Nachkriegseuropa zu
einem politischen Schauplatz standig ausgehandelter Wissens- und
Ordnungsvorstellungen wurde.
