If science was once seen as rendering neutral hard facts about the world decades of strengthening the relation between science and politics have ironically diminished the authority of both. With the end of the Cold War and the advent of the globalized world, a new regime of science organization also came into place, the globalized privatization of science regime. The aim of this chapter is to examine the emergence of practices of ignorance production as one of the many consequences of the current political economy of science. Through publication planning strategies, massive funding of industry-friendly clinical research, and the reform of the classification systems of disease, pharmaceutical companies have been able to speed up the release of new drugs. Hence, the chapter examines the ways in which the globalized privatization of science and its underlying neoliberal epistemology have promoted the politicization of science and the scientization of politics through innovative mechanisms of ignorance production.
