Why is there no knowledge policy in the United States?

.

Chapter 5 in The New Global Politics of Science, 2018, pp 84-115 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The United States of America has been the global hegemon of science, technology and innovation since, at least, the end of the Second World War. This chapter traces the evolution of US science and innovation policy, highlighting the importance of national security concerns and, in particular, the fragmented nature of the policy system, as well as the importance of universities not only as performing institutions but also as policy-coordinating entities.
