Continuity or Discontinuity? Scientific Governance in the Pre-History of the 1977 Law of Higher Education and Research in Sweden
The Rise and Demise of the International Council for Science Policy Studies (ICSPS) as a Cold War Bridging Organization
New Public Management, science policy and the orchestration of university research - academic science the loser
In many countries - during the past three decades - there has been increasing alignment of public administration with neoliberal modes of governance driven by processes of globalization and privatization. Key is New Public Management (NPM) as an instrument for applying private sector or market-based techniques to public services. The paper concerns the implications and impact of these developments as they relate to the university sector where we …
Through the lens of the polar years: Changing characteristics of polar research in historical perspective
The four polar years are used as windows for highlighting changes in the character of polar research over the past 125 years. The approach taken may be seen as one of an archaeology of knowledge. As such it fixes on four separate strata in the history of science and seeks to lay bare distinctive features in each of these. To simplify, the focus is selective, mainly presenting three types of aspect for each year. The first is the character of the …

Some Current Changes in the Conditions of Research
Currently there is debate about the changing conditions of scientific research and appropriate models of knowledge production. Mode 2 and Triple Helix are two of the catchwords used to denote new models of scientific knowledge production. They highlight network characteristics, interplay between research and users, as well as modes of management based on partnering. The present article reviews some of the changes in the research landscape in West…

The science-society contract in historical transformation: "With Special Reference to "Epistemic Drift
This paper locates the discussion around the finalization thesis in a broader science policy context, linking it to the recent discourse on a changing science-society contract. It is argued that the broadening of the Kuhnian concept of the paradigm, making it amenable to science policy studies, was an important move. Further development of this notion, however, standed on the prongs of critique coming from both the worlds of politics and science.…

Science Studies' in Sweden
During the last two years, the- scope of 'science studies' in Sweden has been broadened to put the accent on the social dimension, and also to include technology in this context. Both the Vitterhetsakademien (Royal Academy of Antiquities, History and Social Studies) and the Riksbankens Jubileumsf ond (Swedish Bank Tercentenary Fund) have sponsored conferences to discuss themes and problems concerning 'man in technological society', 'attitudes to …

Science: Its Theory and Practice, An Introduction for Doctoral Students
For a number of years, both the Research Policy Programme (Lund) and the Theory of Science Institute (Goteborg) in Sweden have held courses on the research process. In Lund, these courses have primarily concentrated on the 'practice' of research: how it is organized, conducted, planned, financed, etc. In Goteborg, the emphasis has been on research 'theory' including definitions of science, philosophies of science, and the question of objectivity …
