| Abstract | "The period from the end of WWII through the early 1970s saw the formation of new paradigms in academic, scientific, and professional knowledge in various disciplines and fields. This reconfiguration of knowledge took place not only in the U.S. but also in East Asia, although the U.S. invested much more resources in research, education, and foreign aid programs. Drawing on a wealth of archival documents from East Asia, Knowledge as Diplomacy focuses on the building and re-building of academic, scientific, and professional knowledge in or about East Asia in the first half of the Cold War era. It explores how this newly constructed knowledge came to assume certain "norms," that academics, professionals, and bureaucrats of these countries tried to comply with and sometimes wrestled with. The first set of essays focus on state-centered promotions of construction and normalization of knowledge. The second group of essays explore how non-government actors such as universities, research institutes, private philanthropic organizations, or companies, were involved in the construction and normalization of knowledge. They sometimes cooperated with the state governments, mobilized by them, or took advantage of them. The final essays highlight individuals and groups who resisted or protested the hegemonic knowledge being constructed by state- or non-state actors"-- Provided by publisher. |
