Description: A transnational approach to understanding and analyzing knowledge circulation. The contributors to this collection focus on what happens to knowledge and know - how at national borders. Rather than treating it as flowing like currents across them or diffusing out from center to periphery they stress the human intervention that shapes how knowledge is processed mobilized and repurposed in transnational transactions to serve diverse interests constraints and environments. The chapters consider both what knowledge travels and how it travels across borders of varying permeability that impede or facilitate its movement. They look closely at a variety of platforms and objects of knowledge from tangible commodities like hybrid wheat seeds penicillin Robusta coffee naval weaponry seed banks satellites and high - performance computers to the more conceptual apparatuses of plant phenotype data and statistics. Moreover this volume decenters the Global North tracking how knowledge moves along multiple paths across the borders of Mexico India Portugal Guinea - Bissau the Soviet Union China Angola Palestine and the West Bank as well as the United States and the United Kingdom. An important new work of transnational history this collection recasts the way we understand and analyze knowledge circulation.
