Bøger i British Association for the Ad serien

The product of the 1984 meeting of Section F (Economics) of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, this book looks at the relationship between politics and economics in a mixed economy. While concentrating on the British system, the contributors - all acknowledged experts in their respective fields - draw important parallels with other countries. The book represents a real contribution to the field of political economy.

The Management of Science contains essays from nine internationally-known experts in the rapidly-developing field of science studies. These contributions deal both with the broader issues such as government intervention and with detailed problems such as advances in biotechnology. They will be of interest to politicians, civil servants, academics, research-planners and other members of the community who want to see administered science the obedient but enterprising servant of a democratic society.
