This innovative book provides new perspectives on the globalization of
knowledge and the notion of hegemonic sciences. Tying together
contributions of authors from all across the world, it challenges
existing theories of hegemonic sciences and sheds new light on how they
have been and are being constructed. Examining more closely the notions
of 'human rights' and 'individualization', this much-needed volume
offers new and alternative ideas on how to transform the
universalization of the Western model of science and can serve as an
eye-opener for all those interested in non-hegemonic scientific
discourse.
