Reviews
“The book draws on considerable empirical material, drawn from national and international quantitative data: historical documents, archival data, bibliometric records ofpublications … as well as 200 interviews with scientists and academics. … The book shows that, in institution-initiated collaboration, individual scientists are again the main actors. … the book contributes to a better understanding of the current transformations of North–North, North–South, and South–South relations.” (Lynda Sifer-Rivière, International Sociology Reviews, Vol. 32 (5), 2018)
“The first cohesive attempt to provide the empirical weight of evidence to support sociologists’ claims and long-held suspicions about knowledge production and scientific advancement being a community initiative … . should be mandatory reading for policy makers, academics, especially early career academics and anyone with a broad interest in the sociology of knowledge production. … It is excellent book overall that should find a place in local libraries given its contribution to the sociology of knowledge production in South Africa.” (Shaun Ruggunan, South African Review ofSociology, Vol. 47 (2), 2016)
