I can't name of a global bio experiment looking for international funding to build a massive project. This unfortunately isn't the case. There is friction because there is a fork in the road for particle physics. If we build or extend the LHC it is fundamentally a p-p hadron collider collider. There is significant new evidence of new physics in hadron/lepton interactions and from the neutrino sector. Neutrinos are tricky but we feel we have a handle on these, which is pushing more people to want to build a large clean lepton collider either an e-e or u-u collider. The problem with a purely leptop collider is that it doesn't tell us too much about hadron physics (hence why the lhc differs so much from Tevatron). The community itself has elected those who are in charge to review the proposals from the people with different ideas to allow us to form a coherent argument to go to funding councils/countries with. I cannot name any other academic field which has managed to achieve such a level of international self-governence when designing projects on such a scale.
