Abstract

The article explores the borderlands of national and international, political and scientific fields in the genesis and development of the Center for European Sociology (1950s–1970s). Headed by Raymond Aron and Pierre Bourdieu, the center received support from the Ford Foundation as part of its European strategy to develop research oriented towards European integration. Although this did not exactly go as planned, the Center for European Sociology built a transnational research program of its own, in the more general context of the Cultural Cold War. The article thus addresses the relationship between research funding and scientific autonomy in the human and social sciences at the interface of national and international processes.
