John Krige and Kai-Henrik Barth, ed. Global Power Knowledge. Science and Technology in International Affairs. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2006.
This book breaks new ground in concentrating on the role of science and technology as instruments of foreign policy and in the international arena. Case studies explore the role of science administrators as well as of scientists and engineers as international actors using four main organizing themes: the nuclear, the postcolonial, patronage, and globalization. This book is intended to dissolve disciplinary boundaries between historians and sociologists of science and technology and scholars of international affairs and foreign policy to the mutual advantage of both.
