Series: UNU/INTECH Studies in New Technology and Development

This edited collection examines the political conditions affecting science and technology capability building in Latin America. In a comparative discussion centring on

Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, leading contributors look at the capacity Latin American governments have shown for building national systems for the support of innovation in industry. They look at how state capacities for the design and implementation of science and technology policies have eveloved

and examine how political factors, such as military rule and authoritarianism, have shaped such capabilities and the pattern of development. The influence of international factors

on policy changes is also examined. In looking ahead to the

future economic and social development in Latin America, contributors find that selective but active state intervention

in favour of technological change will be needed to ensure implementation of realistic technology policies.
