Internationalization of the Social Sciences

Internationalisation of the social sciences rests on the set-up of international scientific infrastructures, networks, and research agendas. Yet it has also stimulated discussions on academic dependency and the need for the indigenisation of theories and methods. This book traces phenomena that accompany the internationalisation of social sciences in different parts of the world. Contributions from East Asia, India, Russia, Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, South Africa, and Latin America offer manifold perspectives on the pathways and desiderata of internationalisation and make this volume an important basis for future debates.
