A selection of papers from the International Colloquium "Sciences and Empires - Comparative History of Scientific Exchanges European Expansion and Scientific Development of Asia, Africa, America and Oceania", held in UNESCO, Paris, April 1990. It raises some historical and epistemological problems related to the integration between classical science and modern science in countries with ancient scientific traditions; to the way modern science crossed cultural borders and took roots outside Europe; to the political strategies followed by European powers for their scientific expansion; and to the possibility of drawing a fruitful general frame for scientific development under colonial and imperial domination. It raises crucial issues about science in its imperial context. Scientific expansion has been a dimension of the sharing of the new world undertaken by European countries since the 19th century after the industrial revolution: which consequences such a context had on the way science was organized and developed outside Europe and which constraints this imperial system laid upon scientific activities and exchanges.This work explores a wide diversity of national situations as well as a variety of disciplines and institutions. It aims to contribute to a better understanding of contemporary problems of scientific development in the light of history of science.

SCIENCE AND EMPIRES: FROM THE INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM TO THE BOOK Patrick PETITJEAN, Catherine JAMI and Anne Marie MOULIN The International Colloquium "Science and Empires - Historical Studies about Scientific De velopment and European Expansion" is the product of an International Colloquium, "Sciences and Empires - A Comparative History of Scien tific Exchanges: European Expansion and Scientific Development in Asian, African, American and Oceanian Countries". Organized by the REHSEIS group (Research on Epistemology and History of Exact Sciences and Scientific Institutions) of CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research), the colloquium was held from 3 to 6 April 1990 in the UNESCO building in Paris. This colloquium was an idea of Professor Roshdi Rashed who initiated this field of studies in France some years ago, and proposed "Sciences and Empires" as one of the main research programmes for the The project to organize such a colloquium was a bit REHSEIS group. of a gamble. Its subject, reflected in the title "Sciences and Empires", is not a currently-accepted sub-discipline of the history of science; rather, it refers to a set of questions which found autonomy only recently. The terminology was strongly debated by the participants and, as is frequently suggested in this book, awaits fuller clarification.
