What is international science and how does it function? This book
answers these questions through a detailed study of international
congresses on genetics held from 1899 to 1939. It presents a
portrait of international science as a product of continuous
interactions that involved scientists and their patrons within
specific political, ideological, and disciplinary contexts. Drawing
on a variety of archival sources - ranging from Stalin's personal
papers to the records of the Gestapo and from the correspondence
among scientists in different countries to the minutes of the
Soviet government's top-secret meetings - it depicts the operations
of international science at a time of great political tensions.
Krementsov breaks with the view of science as either inherently
national or quintessentially international, examining instead the
intersection between national and international agendas in
scientists' activities. Focusing on the dramatic history of the
Seventh international genetics congress, he investigates
contradictions inherent to scientists' dual loyalties to their
country and their science. Through analysis of negotiations among
three groups of actors involved with the organization of the
congress, Krementsov examines the role of ideologies, patronage,
and personal networks in the operations of international science.
