Under the heading of the other Europe, this book presents the history and politics of European Big Science as an alternative road to (Western) European integration besides the mainstream political integration process of the European Economic Community and the European Union. It shows that Big Science has a role to play in European politics and policymaking and that the crucial and unavoidable symbiosis between science, technology and politics brings the creation of Big Science projects back to geopolitical realities. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in the History of Science and Technology,$x2730-9738 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aWorld history 606 $aHistory of Science 606 $aPolitical History 606 $aWorld History, Global and Transnational History 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aWorld history. 615 14$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aPolitical History. 615 24$aWorld History, Global and Transnational History. 676 $a509 676 $a900 700 $aCramer$b Katharina C$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0921527 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910416087003321 996 $aA Political History of Big Science$92067206 997 $aUNINA
