"From World War II to the early 1970s, social science research expanded in dramatic
and unprecedented fashion in the United States, which became the world's acknowledged
leader in the field. This volume examines how, why, and with what consequences this
rapid and yet contested expansion depended on the entanglement of the social sciences
with the Cold War. Utilizing the controversial but useful concept of "Cold War Social
Science," the contributions gathered here reveal how scholars from established disciplines
and new interdisciplinary fields of study made important contributions to long-standing
debates about knowledge production, liberal democracy, and human nature in an era
of diplomatic tension and ideological conflict"--
