Shakhar,
What is your timeframe for the study?  Also, is there a specific institution
(and individuals) in Germany your investigation is tied to? The first thing
that comes to mind is Science in Action by Bruno Latour as a general starting
point, also the work of Laura Nader, but even this is just background rather
than on the area you're interested in. Narrowing this query down in terms of
time and place will make it easier to find information, (and easier for
people on the list to respond)--
Best,
Ellen
