Reviews
“This excellent volume provides evidence for increasing global circulation of scholars and scientific while showing that these processes are far from straightforward. Theoretical perspectives and scientific concepts do not diffuse peacefully. Scientific peripheries are not simply the supine recipients of science from core countries. The global social sciences are marked by a mixture of diminished autonomy in some respects and increased heterogeneity in others; all of this is riven by pervasive power struggles.” (George Steinmetz, Charles Tilly Collegiate Professor of Sociology at the University of Michigan, USA)
