This project investigates the formation and effects of the French state's industrial and scientific policies during the Age of Revolution. These policies and their implementation demonstrate how French bureaucrats hoped that improved technology would overcome Britain's industrial lead. The project uses a cultural perspective to examine origins of the Industrial Revolution in France and to understand why France seemed to lag Britain in the development and utilization of new technology. These issues will be examined through four case studies that investigate the nature and causes of French efforts to create a `culture of applied science.` Cases will be developed through extensive archival research in Paris and the provinces. The project will culminate in a book-length manuscript that explains why culture, particularly the nature and contours of a culture of applied science, is essential for understanding the application of science and technology.

本项目研究大革命时期法国国家工业和科学政策的形成和影响。 这些政策及其实施表明，法国官僚多么希望改进的技术能够超越英国的工业领先地位。 该项目从文化的角度来研究法国工业革命的起源，并理解为什么法国似乎在新技术的开发和利用方面落后于英国。 这些问题将通过四个案例研究加以审查，这些案例研究调查了法国为创造一种“应用科学文化”所作努力的性质和原因。 将通过在巴黎和各省进行广泛的档案研究来发展案例。 该项目最终将完成一本书长的手稿，解释为什么文化，特别是应用科学文化的性质和轮廓，对于理解科学和技术的应用至关重要。
