This paper asks “Why has science expanded more in some nations rather than others?” and argues that the spread to non-Western nations was via international organizations in addition to the economic expansion.

Cross-sectional and panel regression models were run with various factors, including GDP per capita, political decentralization, totalitarianism, protestantism, and so on.
