Science and Democratisation Processes in Europe. Session at the 11th ESHS Conference: Science, Technology, Humanity, and the Earth

Original language description

Our ESHS symposium focused on an under-researched topic: the relationship between science and democracy. Current literature on the relationship between science and democracy tends to focus on tensions between science and democracy, neglecting both historical experience and epistemological issues. Our aim was to historicize this relationship and to examine the role of science (including access to data, tools, technologies, etc.) in the democratization of society. The panel focused on Cold War science and the role of different expert cultures before and after perestroika. We were particularly interested in analysing the role of science and scientific communities or individual experts in democratisation processes in East Central Europe. In the context of current discussions on the decolonisation of the history of science, we paid special attention to the role of science in the dissolution of the Soviet empire and, in particular, the Soviet Union, Poland and Czechoslovakia. Papers explored national, international or transnational relations and they particularly addressed the practice turn in science as a multilateral process.
