Two ideological views on science dominated the Cold War era: one of a free and apolitical
science, and the other emphasizing partisanship in science, associated with the Western and
Eastern Blocs, respectively. This study offers a specific perspective of important elements
belonging to these scientific positions, as it reveals their entanglement with geopolitical and
socioeconomic processes of the (semi)peripheral Yugoslav socialist system during the Cold
War period. After the Second World War, and before its break with the USSR in 1948,
Yugoslavia tended to emulate Soviet ideology in all aspects of society, including science. In
the period following this break, the Yugoslav socialist regime, at least initially, leaned heavily
toward the Western Bloc. By comparing Yugoslav science before and after the break with the
USSR, this study provides insight into the consequences of the geopolitical shift and socioeconomic transition of the Yugoslav socialist system, primarily in terms... of the model of
scientific organization, financing, and scientific discourse. Exposed to the dynamics of
decentralization and, to a larger extent than before, market forces, Yugoslav socialism after
the break with the USSR adopted a specific form, namely Socialist Self Management. Herein, I
show that this led to the emergence of novel organizational and discursive tendencies in
Yugoslav science, which were compatible with certain aspects of the perspective of science
as ‘pure’, autonomous, and apolitical.
