This edited volume offers a broad, comparative analysis of how changes in the governance of public science systems since World War II have altered authority relationships within academia, research organizations, and scientific fields — and how those shifts influence patterns of intellectual innovation. It argues that transformations in funding, accountability, and institutional autonomy reconfigure who controls research goals, methodologies, and evaluation, thereby reshaping how scientific knowledge is produced and applied.
