科学在当今世界如何“完成”具有深刻的政治影响，因为科学知识通过其技术应用已成为经济和军事实力的重要来源。科学研究越来越依赖于来自商业和军事的资金，这使得科学知识的获取和控制成为当今科学政治的核心问题。大卫·迪克森（David Dickson）在《科学的新政治》（The New Politics of Science）一书中指出，“科学界有自己的内部权力结构、精英、等级制度、意识形态、认可的社会行为规范以及持不同意见的群体。科学作为一种社会实践，越是成为它所处的社会的经济结构的一个组成部分，两者之间的界限和差异就越是消失。例如，科学界内部的团体会利用科学界外部的团体来达到他们自己的政治目的。在这一版中，迪克森增加了一个新的序言，评论了20世纪80年代工业和国防利益对美国科学研究的持续和日益增长的影响。
How science "gets done" in today's world has profound political repercussions, since scientific knowledge, through its technical applications, has become an important source of both economic and military power. The increasing dependence of scientific research on funding from business and the military has made questions about the access to and control of scientific knowledge a central issue in today's politics of science. In "The New Politics of Science," David Dickson points out that "the scientific community has its own internal power structures, its elites, its hierarchies, its ideologies, its sanctioned norms of social behavior, and its dissenting groups. And the more that science, as a social practice, forms an integral part of the economic structures of the society in which it is imbedded, the more the boundaries and differences between the two dissolve. Groups inside the scientific community, for example, will use groups outside the community-and vice versa-to achieve their own political ends." In this edition, Dickson has included a new preface commenting on the continuing and increasing influence of industrial and defense interests on American scientific research in the 1980s.
