Set against this background, this study focuses on German science policy for research cooperation with developing countries and emerging economies in sustainability research. Based on interviews with policy makers and researchers, the book scrutinizes the actors, processes and contents of science policy in Germany. The author argues that science policy mainly aims at German economic benefits and technology development. This, however, negatively influences global sustainability. To counter existing path dependencies, the author provides recommendations for sustainability-oriented scientific practice and science policy. 330 1 $aO-Ton: »How can Cevelopment Cooperation be more sensitive to power relations? - Anna Schwachula on www.developmentresearch.eu. 410 0$aScience studies (Bielefeld, Germany) 606 $aSustainable Development; Science Policy; International Cooperation; Discourse Analysis; Developing Countries; Science; Politics; Nature; Sociology of Science; Policy; Sustainability; Sociology of Development; Sociology; 610 $aDeveloping Countries. 610 $aDiscourse Analysis. 610 $aInternational Cooperation. 610 $aNature. 610 $aPolicy. 610 $aPolitics. 610 $aScience Policy. 610 $aScience. 610 $aSociology of Development. 610 $aSociology of Science. 610 $aSociology. 610 $aSustainability. 615 4$aSustainable Development; Science Policy; International Cooperation; Discourse Analysis; Developing Countries; Science; Politics; Nature; Sociology of Science; Policy; Sustainability; Sociology of Development; Sociology; 676 $a509.43 700 $aSchwachula$b Anna$4aut$01379839 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910745598803321 996 $aSustainable Development in Science Policy-Making$93420213 997 $aUNINA
