Time and again scientists and other intellectuals have claimed their endeavors to be neutral, elevated above the world of partisan conflict and power politics. This volume studies the resonances between neutrality in science and culture and neutrality iRoutledge Studies in Cultural HistoryNeutralityEuropeHistory20th centuryScienceEuropeInternational cooperationHistory20th centurySciencePolitical aspectsEuropeHistory20th centuryNobel PrizesHistory20th centuryWorld War, 1914-1918InfluenceEuropeHistory1918-1945NeutralityHistoryScienceInternational cooperationHistorySciencePolitical aspectsHistoryNobel PrizesHistoryWorld War, 1914-1918Influence.327.1/1Lettevall Rebecka1684611Somsen Geert1684612Widmalm Sven1684613MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817133403321Neutrality in twentieth-century Europe4056203UNINA
