Summary

Centers and Peripheries in Knowledge Production examines the circulation of knowledge within the context of globalization. It focuses on the dynamic relationship between centres and peripheries in social science knowledge production, analysing how peripheral fields appropriate and reshape foreign ideas and how scholars' careers are influenced. The book employs actor-network theory to describe knowledge circulation as part of socio-technical networks that cross national borders.

Description

This book examines the circulation of knowledge within globalization, focusing on the differences between centres and peripheries of knowledge production in the social sciences. It explores not only how knowledge is appropriated in peripheral fields but also how foreign ideas shape those fields and the trajectories of scholars.

Centers and Peripheries in Knowledge Production uses actor-network theory to explain the circulation of knowledge as an extension of socio-technical networks that transcend borders.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

"This is a truly interesting and worthwhile case study, introducing new interpretive ideas and broadly relevant data. It demonstrates that centre-periphery relations are not one-way domination but involve contributions from the periphery, with social-science graduates from peripheries using foreign connections to advance their careers." – Jennifer Platt, University of Sussex, International Sociology
