Abstract
This book suggests that understanding science communication as a network is perhaps the best way to develop and interject governing principles; it builds an argument for viewing the global network as a new form of organization of science on top of national or institutional forms. This chapter details the many changes to science that have occurred within the knowledge-creating system since the 1980s.

Nonaka further notes that this conceptualization of the interdependent connection between the entities and structure is similar to Giddens’ structuration theory (Anthony Giddens 1984). The existing theories that deal with a static status of an organization at one point in time cannot deal with dynamic processes, but that is the benefit of using a network approach.
