The Cold War period saw a dramatic expansion of state-funded science and technologyresearch. Government and military patronage shaped Cold War technoscientific practices, imposingmethods that were project oriented, team based, and subject to national-security restrictions. Thesechanges affected not just the arms race and the space race but also research in agriculture,biomedicine, computer science, ecology, meteorology, and other fields. This volume examines scienceand technology in the context of the Cold War, considering whether the new institutions andinstitutional arrangements that emerged globally constrained technoscientific inquiry or offeredgreater opportunities for it. The contributors find that whatever the particular science, andwhatever the political system in which that science was operating, the knowledge that was producedbore some relation to the goals of the nation-state. These goals varied from nation to nation;weapons research was emphasized in the United States and the Soviet Union, for example, but inFrance and China scientific independence and self-reliance dominated. The contributors also considerto what extent the changes to science and technology practices in this era were produced by thespecific politics, anxieties, and aspirations of the ColdWar.
