Description

Politics of Social Research by Routledge examines the complex relationship between social scientists and government agencies. This book explores the ethical behavior expected of researchers when conducting studies sponsored by domestic or international government bodies. It questions the standard view that social scientists should automatically serve their government, looking at the tension between patriotism and professional independence. The text addresses how massive government funding can pose a threat to research autonomy and examines the disagreements practitioners face regarding government policies. This work provides a deep look into the challenges of maintaining objectivity within the political landscape of social science research.
