- This book covers a lengthy period (the 1960s-1980s), engages with multiple theoretical approaches and utilises sources from archives in Russia, Luxemburg, Austria, France and the US. It is the first study using the Institute of Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) archives. Access to documents stored in the Russian archives (Russian State Archive of the Economy, the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences) required special permission. Primary research includes also 35 semi-structured interviews with actors who performed key roles in the creation of IIASA and the development of public policy in Russia from the US, Russia, Austria and Sweden.
