Edition Details: Lead article in a series: Accumulation and Management in Global Historical Perspective
This essay introduces a special issue dedicated to the theme `accumulation and management in global historical perspective'. The concepts and practices of accumulation and management are explored in ways that work to de-center the history of science and empire. Particular attention is paid to four intertwined elements: 1) the networked location of centres of accumulation around the world; 2) (natural) knowledge as a tool, object and consequence of accumulation; 3) the complex interactions between management and governance; and 4] the geographically dispersed processes of ascribing value.
