'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
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.
