Book excerpt: Knowledge and Global Power is a ground-breaking international study which examines how knowledge is produced, distributed and validated globally. The authors use interviews, databases, and fieldwork to show how intellectual workers respond in Brazil, South Africa, and Australia. The study focuses on socially and politically important research fields: HIV/AIDS, climate change, and gender studies. The research demonstrates emphatically that 'place matters', shaping research, scholarship and knowledge itself.
