This work analyses the multi-dimensional concept of science diplomacy. More specifically, it examines the development, establishment and functioning of Science and Innovation Centres (SICs). In an original comparative and longitudinal study, this work closely analyses the institutionalisation of two distinct SICs: Germany's Deutsche Wissenschafts- und Innovationshäuser (DWIH) and Switzerland's Swissnex. It further probes why actors participate in SICs by deciphering their differing rationales and thus developing a distinctly actor-centred perspective on science diplomacy. The findings reaffirm that science diplomacy is clearly driven by national interests, while further highlighting that the notion of science diplomacy and its governance (actors, rationales and instruments) can only be fully understood by analysing the national context in question.... view less

Diese Arbeit analysiert das mehrdimensionale Konzept Science Diplomacy. Insbesondere die Entwicklung, Einrichtung und Funktionsweise von Science and Innovation Centres (SICs) wird untersucht. In einer originellen vergleichenden Längsschnittstudie wird die Institutionalisierung von zwei SICs, den Deutschen Wissenschafts- und Innovationshäusern (DWIH) und dem Schweizer Swissnex, eingehend analysiert. Die Studie geht der Frage nach, warum sich Akteure an SICs beteiligen, indem sie ihre unterschiedlichen Beweggründe entschlüsselt und so eine eindeutig akteurszentrierte Perspektive auf Science Diplomacy entwickelt. Die Ergebnisse bekräftigen, dass Science Diplomacy eindeutig von nationalen Interessen angetrieben wird, während gleichzeitig hervorgehoben wird, dass Science Diplomacy und ihre Governance nur durch eine Analyse des nationalen Kontexts vollständig verstanden werden können.... view less
