Science and Ideology brings together a number of comparative case studies to examine the relationship between science and the dominant ideology of a state. Cybernetics developments in the USA are compared to that of France and the Soviet Union. Postwar Allied science policy in occupied Germany is juxtaposed to that in Japan. The essays are narrowly focused, yet cover a wide range of countries and ideologies. The collection provides a unique comparative history of scientific policies and practices in the twentieth century.
