The Politics of Technology in Latin America (Hardcover)

This collection examines the political conditions affecting science and technology capability building in Latin America. In a comparative discussion centering on Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, the work discusses the capacity Latin American governments have shown in building national systems for the support of innovation in industry. It looks at how state capacities for the design and implementation of science and technology policies have evolved and examines how political factors, such as military rule and authoritarianism, have shaped such capabilities and the pattern of development. In looking ahead to the future economic and social development in Latin America, contributors suggest that selective but active state intervention in favour of technological change will be needed to ensure implementation of realistic technology policies.
