explain the different roles of basic and applied research
describe the different criteria for success of basic and applied
research
explain why government policymakers seem to prefer applied
research
describe how basic research reflects liberal democratic values
Over fifty years ago, Vannevar Bush released his enormously
influential report, Science, the Endless Frontier, which asserted
a dichotomy between basic and applied science. This view was
at the core of the compact between government and science that
led to the golden age of scientific research after World War II—
a compact that is currently under severe stress. In this book,
Donald Stokes challenges Bush’s view and maintains that we
can only rebuild the relationship between government and the
scientific community when we understand what is wrong with
that view.
Stokes begins with an analysis of the goals of understanding
and use in scientific research. He recasts the widely accepted
view of the tension between understanding and use, citing as a
model case the fundamental yet use-inspired studies by which
Louis Pasteur laid the foundations of microbiology a century
ago. Pasteur worked in the era of the “second industrial
revolution,” when the relationship between basic science and
technological change assumed its modern form. Over
subsequent decades, technology has been increasingly science-
based. But science has been increasingly technology-based–with
the choice of problems and the conduct of research often
inspired by societal needs. An example is the work of the
quantum-effects physicists who are probing the phenomena
revealed by the miniaturization of semiconductors from the time
of the transistor’s discovery after World War II.
On this revised, interactive view of science and technology,
Stokes builds a convincing case that by recognizing the
importance of use-inspired basic research we can frame a new
compact between science and government. His conclusions have
major implications for both the scientific and policy
communities and will be of great interest to those in the broader
public who are troubled by the current role of basic science in
American democracy.
Why the distinction between basic (theoretical) and applied
(practical) research is important in the politics of science
