4. Mark Mazower, Governing the World: The History of an Idea, 1815 to the Present (New York: Penguin, 2013), 94–115. My understanding of scientific internationalism was greatly shaped by the conference “The Science of Information, 1870–1945: The Universalization of Knowledge in a Utopian Age,” University of Pennsylvania, February 23–25, 2017. For an examination of the ways that nineteenth-century movements such as the Saint-Simonians imagined this new world order with engineers at its core and how this technopolitics played out in infrastructural projects they undertook, see Antoine Picon, Les Saint-simoniens. Raison, imaginaire et utopie (Paris: Belin, 2002). The scholarship on the unification of sciences in the twentieth century is a rather large field, but for a thorough grasp of the early twentieth-century discourse and practices see Peter Galison, “The Americanization of Unity,” Daedalus 127, no. 1 (1998): 45–71; and Peter Galison and David J. Stump, eds., The Disunity of Science: Boundaries, Contexts, and Power (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2001).
