Science and technology in Argentina 2015-2019: A view of the neoliberal adjustment

The policies implemented for the science and technology sector during the government of President Mauricio Macri are analyzed, in the context of the neo-liberal development model that has driven its management. Focused on the export of raw materials and financial valuation, this model reformulated in fact the evolution of the sector. Ongoing projects in areas such as defense, satellite and nuclear were paralyzed and attempt to boost the development of the national technology industry were suspended. Data and indicators are presented that show the magnitude of the cuts made to the state investment in S&T, theloss of the real salary of the professionals of the sector and the deterioration in the workingconditions in the R&D activities, in a general framework of adjustment and shrinking of the State.

Se analizan las políticas implementadas para el sector de ciencia y tecnología durante el gobierno del Presidente Mauricio Macri, en el contexto del modelo de desarrollo neoliberal que ha impulsado su gestión, centrado en la exportación de materias primas sin elaborar y en la valorización financiera. Tal modelo reformuló en los hechos la evolución del sector, paralizando proyectos en curso en áreas como defensa, satelital y nuclear, suspendiendo todo intento de impulsar el desarrollo de la industria tecnológica nacional desde el Estado. Se presentan datos e indicadores que dan cuenta de la magnitud de los recortes realizados a la inversión estatal en CyT, la pérdida del salario real de los profesionales del sector y el deterioro en las condiciones de trabajo en las actividades de I+D, en un marco general de ajuste y achicamiento del Estado. As políticas implementadas para o setor de ciência e tecnologia durante o governo do presidente Mauricio Macri são analisadas, no contexto do modelo de desenvolvimento neoliberal que impulsionou sua gestão, focada na exportação de matérias-primas e na valorização financeira. Esse modelo reformulou de fato a evolução do setor, paralisando projetos em andamento em áreas como defesa, satélite e nuclear, suspendendo qualquer tentativa de impulsionar o desenvolvimento da indústria nacional de tecnologia do Estado. São apresentados dados e indicadores que mostram a magnitude dos cortes feitos no investimento estatal em C&T, a perda do salário real dos profissionais do setor e a deterioração das condições de trabalho nas atividades de P&D, em uma quadro geral de ajuste e encolhimento do Estado.
