Abstract

Collaboration between scientists working in China and Europe confronts political pressure to decouple, disengage, withhold, and withdraw. As geopolitical and geoeconomic tensions grow, the value of scientific networks has been placed under scrutiny and called into question. At the same time cross-border collaboration is integral to the production of scientific and technological innovation and is valued by scientists on both sides of an emergent divide. This chapter investigates what happens within global scientific networks when politics comes to the fore. It does this by tracking how scientific networks are sustained when formal bases of collaboration are constrained. The analysis illuminates how modes of network cohesion and maintenance change according to shifts in the environment. While formal institutional ties between scientists and scientific environments in China and Denmark were degraded, network ties were maintained through existing customary and charismatic modes of network cohesion.
