1. INTRODUCTION<\/u>:<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 “The Nobel Prize has existed for 117 years. In that time, a total of\u00a0916<\/strong><\/i>\u00a0prizes have been awarded to individuals and organizations, with some receiving the Nobel Prize more than once.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 “In this article I\u00a0 examine the national, ethnic and gender\u00a0 composition of the laureates. I examine TRENDS over time,\u00a0 and I show how the allocation of\u00a0 Nobel awards\u00a0 reflects the history and the evolution of the world over the past 117 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0“This article is not an exercise in nationalism or chauvinism. To the contrary, you\u2019ll see that there is probably no more international population on the planet than the\u00a0 body of Nobel laureates. But to demonstrate this, it is necessary to identify each laureate\u2019s background. This is the first objective of this article. A second, and related, objective is to demonstrate the changing composition of this population and to show that the trends over time\u00a0\u00a0 reflect the world\u2019s geopolitical\u00a0 and cultural evolution.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 “The single most important finding is this: From the 1920s onward, there has been an enormous outflow of brain power from Germanic and other parts of Europe to North America. This was largely caused by the rise of National Socialism and Fascism, and a huge proportion of the Nobel laureates who were\u00a0 expatriates and refugees were Jewish.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 “Additionally, I trace the gradual diversification of the Nobel Prize from a largely Euro-centric phenomenon to a worldwide one, and I examine the evolving gender\u00a0 distribution of awards.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
