Shaky Foundations provides the first extensive examination of a new patronage system for the social sciences that emerged in the early Cold War years and took more definite shape during the 1950s and early 1960s, a period of enormous expansion in American social science. By focusing on the military, the Ford Foundation, and the National Science Foundation, Mark Solovey shows how this patronage system presented social scientists and other interested parties, including natural scientists and politicians, with new opportunities to work out the scientific identity, social implications, and public policy uses of academic social research. Solovey also examines significant criticisms of the new patronage system, which contributed to widespread efforts to rethink and reshape the politics-patronage-social science nexus starting in the mid-1960s. Based on extensive archival research, Shaky Foundations addresses fundamental questions about the intellectual foundations of the social sciences, their relationships with the natural sciences and the humanities, and the political and ideological import of academic social inquiry."--Publisher's website. 650 0 Social sciences |xResearch |zUnited States |xHistory |y20th century. |=^A1019082 650 0 Endowment of research |xPolitical aspects |zUnited States |xHistory |y20th century. |=^A69186 650 0 Cold War |xSocial aspects. |=^A235197 650 0 World politics |y1945-1989. |=^A531593 830 0 Studies in modern science, technology, and the environment. |=^A1129065 938 Blackwell Book Service |bBBUS |n8751544 938 Brodart |bBROD |n103070117 938 Baker and Taylor |bBTCP |nBK0011112797 938 Coutts Information Services |bCOUT |n21989602 938 YBP Library Services |bYANK |n8751544 994 C0 |bERE 596 1 998 3258706
