Summary

English summary: This volume studies the links between politics and science during the 20th century, based on the example of the large US foundations. If the 20th century can be regarded in many ways as the American Century, then the large US foundations such as Carnegie, Rockefeller and Ford played a major role in this development. And yet they weren't simply stooges for official US power politics. The circumstances surrounding their actions were much more complicated and made great demands of the philanthropy of the day. This volume with articles in English and German shows the course of US philanthropy in Europe in the time between the world wars and following World War II; it demonstrates how Europe became the setting for continually new versions of the postwar political and scientific landscape. German text. German description: Wenn das 20. Jahrhundert in vielerlei Hinsicht als American Century gelten darf, dann haben die grossen US-amerikanischen Stiftungen wie Carnegie, Rockefeller und Ford einen erheblichen Anteil daran. Deren globale Netzwerke wurden zu begehrten Instrumenten, um amerikanische Ideen und Werte nach aussen zu tragen. Handelte es sich bei den Stiftungen also nur um Handlanger des US-amerikanischen Vorherrschaftsanspruchs? Ihre selbst gewahlte Mission und die kritischen Erwartungen ihrer Forderkandidaten und Partner vor Ort stellten ungleich subtilere Anspruche an das philanthropische Geschaft. Dieser zweisprachige Band zeigt, wie die US-Philanthropie vor allem im Zwischen- und Nachkriegseuropa zu einem politischen Schauplatz standig ausgehandelter Wissens- und Ordnungsvorstellungen wurde.
