This volume employs new empirical data to examine the internationalization of the social sciences and humanities (SSH). While the globalization dynamics that have transformed the shape of the world over the last decades has been the subject of a growing number of scientific studies, very few such studies have set out to analyze the globalization of social and human sciences themselves. Arguing against the complacent assumption that Science is ‘international by nature’, this work demonstrates that the growing circulation of scholars and scientific ideas is a complex, contradictory and contested process. Arranged thematically, the chapters in this volume present a coherent exploration of patterns of transnationalization, South-North and East-West exchanges, and transnational regionalization. Further, they offer fresh insight into specific topics including the influence of the Anglo-American research infrastructure and the development of social and human sciences in postcolonial contexts.Featuring contributions from leading international scholars in the field, this work will advance the research agenda and will have interdisciplinary appeal for scholars from across the social sciences.<p></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>

“This volume provides much needed detailed evidence on transformations in the global social sciences. While emphasizing power relations, it rejects facile notions of globalization or Western/Northern hegemony. Instead, it analyzes regional and global trends in empirical detail and shows the impact actions by authors, translators, publishers, foundations and states can have on the global intellectual constellation.” (Peter Wagner, ICREA Research Professor at the University of Barcelona, Spain)<p>“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)</p>
