Science Diplomacy and the Formation of an Epistemic Community (WEF Nexus Case): Data and code

This repository contains the data and analytical code supporting the findings of the article Science Diplomacy and the Formation of an Epistemic Community: The Case of the Water-Energy-Food Nexus (2011–2022), forthcoming in Global Sustainability (Cambridge University Press). The study examines the role of science diplomacy and international research funding in shaping the evolution of the Water–Energy–Food (WEF) Nexus as a global epistemic community. It combines bibliometric network analysis with qualitative coding of funding sources and institutional linkages to identify how cross-border collaborations, funding mechanisms, and geopolitical alignments structure knowledge production in the WEF Nexus.
