Globalization; Sociology

Series: Routledge Advances in Sociology

This book examines the circulation of knowledge within globalization, focusing on the differences between centers 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, and uses actor-network theory to explain circulation of knowledge as an extension of socio-technical networks that transcend borders.

Reviews for Centers and Peripheries in Knowledge Production

This is a truly interesting and worthwhile case study, introducing a number of new interpretive ideas as well as data of broader relevance. It shows that the relation between the centre and the periphery is not one simply of one-way domination, but that characteristics of the periphery also contribute to its continuing status, though social-science graduates from the periphery can sometimes use foreign relations to structure their own careers. - Jennifer Platt, University of Sussex, International Sociology
