Inequalities and STI policies
As inequality rises around the world, practitioners of science, technology, and innovation (STI) policy need to consider their roles in exacerbating or mitigating it. Unless they are specifically designed to do otherwise, national and regional STI policies tend to increase inequality. Alternative designs are available, however, to use STI policy in ways that improve lives in low-resource households, reduce horizontal inequalities, and help to clo…
End of empire
Over the last 20 years, the shape of the global political economy has shifted dramatically, but US science and technology policy is continuing as though nothing has changed since the Cold War. Military research and development are prominent, and policies are still oriented towards large firms in existing industries rather than small, dynamic ones in new industries. US scientists and engineers are still world leaders in Mode 2 learning, as indicat…
Use and Usefulness of Performance Measurement in State Science and Technology Programs
Over 40% of state science and technology programs are evaluating their results in some way. Programs have adopted performance measurement systems both for their own information purposes and to justify their activities to external audiences, usually legislatures. Performance measurement activities may have contributed to the evolution of these programs toward economic objectives, which can be measured in business activity. The most common performa…
American Science Policy since World War II by Bruce L. R. Smith
TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE Book Reviews 191 remains essentially political. We would do well to acknowledge that fact and turn our attention to broadening and deepening participa tion of the public at the beginning of the process. It may not be the easiest course to follow, but for the sake of participatory democracy, it is probably the only course open to us. Such a solution requires, however, that a program in general educa tion of the sort that J…

American Science Policy since World War II
Just after the close of World War II, America's political and scientific leaders reached an informal consensus on how science could best serve the nation and how government might best support science. The consensus lasted a generation before it broke under the pressures created by the Vietnam War. Since then the nation has struggled to reestablish shared beliefs about the means and goals of science policy. In American Science Policy Since World W…

TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE Book Reviews 705 Nevertheless, the book has many strengths, particularly in part 2, which explores specific areas of engineering involvement after a general sociological background has been set out in part 1. The discussion of engineering education (chap. 6) is a valuable summary of the peculiarities of the British tradition, especially with its debili tating emphasis on intellectual education and the laissez-faire role of…

The Social Construction of Technological Systems
Life History of a Knowledge Claim
This research examines how a particular idea, the opiate receptor concept, was incorporated into the work of a group of scientists. It focuses on the period of time during which the idea, previously a mere abstraction, began to receive experimental support. The study analyzes how various groups of researchers within neuroscience used the early experimental results, and how the growing understanding of the receptor contributed to a sense of moment…

Comparing the Sciences
Classical analyses of differences among the sciences have measured social but not cognitive structure. This paper suggests a method for describing differences among fields in the processes of knowledge growth. The method examines closely what is said about a particular scientific paper when it is cited in later works, and traces changes over time, if they occur. A comparative analysis of cases drawn from neuropharmacology and the sociology of sci…
