Zusammenfassung: | In The Power of Systems, Egle Rindzeviciute introduces readers to one of the best-kept secrets of the Cold War: the International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis, an international think tank established by the U.S. and Soviet governments to advance scientific collaboration. From 1972 until the late 1980s IIASA in Austria was one of the very few permanent platforms where policy scientists from both sides of the Cold War divide could work together to articulate and solve world problems. This think tank was a rare zone of freedom, communication, and negotiation, where leading Soviet scientists could try out their innovative ideas, benefit from access to Western literature, and develop social networks, thus paving the way for some of the key science and policy breakthroughs of the twentieth century.Ambitious diplomatic, scientific, and organizational strategies were employed to make this arena for cooperation work for global change. Under the umbrella of the systems approach, East-West scientists co-produced computer simulations of the long-term world future and the anthropogenic impact on the environment, using global modeling to explore the possible effects of climate change and nuclear winter. Their concern with global issues also became a vehicle for transformation inside the Soviet Union. The book shows how computer modeling, cybernetics, and the systems approach challenged Soviet governance by undermining the linear notions of control on which Soviet governance was based and creating new objects and techniques of government |

Cornell University Press [2016] © 2016 1 online resource txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Cornell Studies in Classical Philology Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed Feb. 24, 2017) In The Power of Systems, Egle Rindzeviciute introduces readers to one of the best-kept secrets of the Cold War: the International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis, an international think tank established by the U.S. and Soviet governments to advance scientific collaboration. From 1972 until the late 1980s IIASA in Austria was one of the very few permanent platforms where policy scientists from both sides of the Cold War divide could work together to articulate and solve world problems. This think tank was a rare zone of freedom, communication, and negotiation, where leading Soviet scientists could try out their innovative ideas, benefit from access to Western literature, and develop social networks, thus paving the way for some of the key science and policy breakthroughs of the twentieth century.Ambitious diplomatic, scientific, and organizational strategies were employed to make this arena for cooperation work for global change. Under the umbrella of the systems approach, East-West scientists co-produced computer simulations of the long-term world future and the anthropogenic impact on the environment, using global modeling to explore the possible effects of climate change and nuclear winter. Their concern with global issues also became a vehicle for transformation inside the Soviet Union. The book shows how computer modeling, cybernetics, and the systems approach challenged Soviet governance by undermining the linear notions of control on which Soviet governance was based and creating new objects and techniques of government In English International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (DE-588)1016731-6 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1972-1989 gnd rswk-swf Politische Wissenschaft Policy sciences Political science Methodology Politische Wissenschaft (DE-588)4076229-4 gnd rswk-swf Ost-West-Konflikt (DE-588)4075770-5 gnd rswk-swf Kybernetik (DE-588)4033888-5 gnd rswk-swf Wissenschaftliche Kooperation (DE-588)4066583-5 gnd rswk-swf Sowjetunion (DE-588)4077548-3 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Sowjetunion (DE-588)4077548-3 g Wissenschaftliche Kooperation (DE-588)4066583-5 s International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (DE-588)1016731-6 b Geschichte z 1\p DE-604 Ost-West-Konflikt (DE-588)4075770-5 s Politische Wissenschaft (DE-588)4076229-4 s Kybernetik (DE-588)4033888-5 s Geschichte 1972-1989 z 2\p DE-604 https://doi.org/10.7591/9781501706257 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
