History of Science and Technology

Humanity lives in a transnational world. Recent global events such as the Covid-19 pandemic, major supply chain disruptions and the war in Ukraine have reinforced this claim and exposed the challenges of that transnational world. Resources, products, businesses, organizations, activists, and other actors, as well as technologies, ideas, and scientific findings constantly cross borders and exert a decisive influence on both national and global affairs.
