Review
'A skilfully argued and provocative formulation of the American experience ... yields ... insights into the complexities of the American experience in the relations between science and government.' Nature
Book Description
This book provides a framework for analysing the changing relationship between politics and science in America. Professor Guston charts how a long-lasting 'social contract' between scientists and politicians after World War II lapsed into mutual distrust by the 1980s and describes 'boundary organizations' then formed to mend the relationship.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Used - very good Ships from the USA. Combining political-economic, sociological, and historical approaches, Professor Guston provides a coherent new framework for analyzing the changing relationship between politics and science in the United States. After World War II, the "social contract for science" assumed that the integrity and productivity of research were automatic; a belief that endured for four decades. But in the 1980s, cases of misconduct in science and flagging economic performance broke the trust between politics and science. New "boundary organizations" were created to mend the relationship between scientists and politicians. Seller Inventory # B539_51_18
