This issue of Political Power and Social Theory explores the
changes in science associated with the rise of neoliberalism since
the 1970s. The neoliberalization of science has complicated
interactions among states, markets, and civil society, often in
ways that challenge major assumptions underlying decades of
research. The articles collected here break with older Mertonian
sociologies of science and constructivist microsociologies of
scientific knowledge to examine the mesolevel problem of the
changing institutional contexts of "the scientific field" as
originally identified by Pierre Bourdieu. Papers presented in Part
I extend Bourdieu's relational approach to the broader set of
interactions among scientific, regulatory, industry, and social
movement fields. Part II extends Bourdieu's concern with order and
the scientific habitus to the changing patterns of scientific
practices under neoliberalism. By reconceptualizing the central
problem for the social studies of science as the political
sociological problem of field and interfield dynamics, the
collected papers chart an important theoretical agenda for future
research in the study of sciencesociety relations.
