Science without Boundaries discusses the many issues involved in
going beyond disciplinary research practices in science, politics
and society, and addresses the complexities of their interface.
Governments and politicians are increasingly calling upon the
scientific community to deal with global challenges such as climate
change, poverty, international governance, peace-making et cetera.
These are calls for interdisciplinary research - calls to deal with
the interaction of parts in complex systems. The book addresses
questions like these: -Does interdisciplinary research fit into the
overall disciplinary organization of the sciences? -Does
interdisciplinary research meet the high scientific standards of
the research community? -How does the science community adopt to
changing circumstances? -How responsive is the science community to
social and political needs? -To what extent do governments
intervene to influence science? -What pattern of interaction exists
between politics, society and research? Polar research is used to
show how politics may intermingle with science to safeguard
national interests in times of dramatic international change.
