The political view of the Latin American field in science, technology and society
The field of Science, Technology and Society studies in Latin America has strongly emphasized, since its early origins in the sixties and seventies, a political view of the relationship between scientific-technological issues and the economy, culture, society and development of countries. Here we discussed some possible reasons for this regional particularity, linked to the permanent bridges that have been established and reinforced between “hard” and social science fields, as well as between academic production and political action in governments and international organizations. These interactions represent virtuous circles that must be promoted and encouraged, in order to improve both public policies on science and technology and academic production in the field.
