Resumo Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar a participação da sociedade civil no processo de elaboração e implementação da Política de Ciência,Tecnologia e Inovação (CTI) no Brasil tendo em vista uma estratégia de desenvolvimento sustentável. O artigo apresenta o argumento que a realização das Conferências de CTI tem permitido uma ampliação da percepção da importância da CTI para o desenvolvimento do país e facilitado a participação de novos atores da sociedade civil nas discussões em torno das tecnologias sociais. Desse modo, tem contribuído para o tratamento da questão social na agenda da PCTI. Contudo, as Conferências de CTI têm seguido mais o modelo tradicional de alfabetização científica dos cidadãos do que criado uma abertura para colher opiniões e demandas dos participantes para a definição da política.Palavras-chave política de CTI, participação, sociedade civil, desenvolvimentoAbstract This article aims to analyze the participation of civil society in the drafting and implementation of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) Policy in Brazil, considering a sustainable development strategy. This article presents the argument that STI Conferences have allowed an expansion of awareness of STI importance for Brazilian development. Moreover, these meetings have facilitated the participation of new civil society actors in social technology discussions.Thereby, they have contributed to the inclusion of social issues in the STI Policy agenda. However, STI Conferences have followed the traditional model of citizens’ scientific literacy more than created an opening for feedbacks and demands from participants in order to define policies.Keywords STI policy, participation, civil society, development

Science Technology And Innovation

Science, technology, and innovation (STI) is increasingly gaining in importance on the foreign policy agenda of governments worldwide. However, the implementation of science diplomacy strategies requires STI institutional capacity and strong interfaces with policy and diplomacy. This research first maps the STI public institutions of the six member countries of the Central American Integration System (Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama) and then draws their capacity to connect internationally in order to highlight their potential for science diplomacy. Variables such as the year of creation and mandates of scientific councils, secretariats, national academies, international cooperation departments and ministries are analyzed. The study reveals several public management challenges stemming from the institutional disparity and complexity of the region, already marked by significant asymmetries of human development between the various countries. Highlighting and understanding such challenges may be helpful for countries in the region in developing meaningful strategies around science diplomacy.

Abstract This article examines the influence of different economic rationales in the Dominican Republic’s science, technology, and innovation (STI) policies from a context-development perspective. For this purpose, four STI policy frameworks are reviewed: the National Competitiveness Plan; the Strategic Plan of Science, Technology, and Innovation; the Ten-year Plan of Higher Education; and the National Development Strategy 2030. Three cycles of STI policies are covered: the industrialization and import substitution cycle; the structural adjustment cycle; and the post-structural adjustment cycle. Five economic rationales are considered: neoclassical, Schumpeterian growth, neo-Marshallian, systemic–institutional, and evolutionary thought. Based on the results, three rationales prevail a systemic–institutional approach; a neo-Marshallian perspective; and a Schumpeterian growth approach. These rationales may refer to the country’s challenges to spur its potential for economic growth and development.

Science Technology And Innovation

In 2015, the United Nations General assembly adopted a set of 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs), including goals to further reduce poverty, hunger and inequality and to improve education, health, cities, economic wellbeing, environmental conditions and access to water and energy. Science, technology and innovation (STI) will play critical roles if these connected SDGs are to be achieved. This book provides an interdisciplinary lens to understand the potential roles and contributions of STI in meeting the SDGs, and the challenges and requirements for that to occur. Its three main sections address these issues for energy and environment, health, and agriculture. In 26 chapters by 71 authors from 18 countries, the book covers a multitude of pressing problems and current opportunities, with an emphasis on the role of STI in developing countries. It focuses on stakeholder involvement in successful application of STI and SDGs. It also offers recommendations to policymakers and practitioners on how STI can be harnessed to deliver the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, including the SDGs.
