Games Real Actors Could Play: The Problem of Complete Information

Fritz W. Scharpf

No 89/9, MPIfG Discussion Paper from Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies

Abstract: This contribution describes scientif ic associations in the FRG with regard to several social-structural variables - number, size, disciplinary distribution - and afterwards concentrates on the question which interests of members are served by these organizations. Four main interests are often mentioned: communicative interests within the respective research communities, individual and collective status interests, interests concerning the transfer between researchers and potential users of their knowledge, and, finally, interests with regard to influencing research policy. Empirically, communicative and transfer interests dominate today.
