Preview Between Politics and Science : Assuring the Productivity and Integrity of Research
Description:
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.

New "boundary organizations" were created to mend the relationship between scientists and politicians.
