RESUMO

The analytical and conceptual matrix that marked the scientific and technological policies after the 2nd World War is associated with a linear perspective of the relations between science, technology and development. This perspective is still very strong among policy makers. There are, however, three approaches that criticize this particular view: the Evolutionary approach, the Latin American Thought in Science, Technology and Society (PLACTS) and what we call the Alternative Vision. The Evolutionary approach is derived from theoretical formulations generated in the developed countries and represents the best known of the three approaches. PLACTS represents an independent and original Latin American initiative that, despite having risen on the decades of 1960 and 1970, still proves itself to be sufficiently fresh. The Alternative Vision seeks to build a genuine and legitimate left-liberal critic inside the field of science and technology policy. Latin American scientific and technological policies can be better understood by modeling these three distinct approaches. Furthermore, it is possible to make an association between these approaches and some specific interests, which are linked to different political projects
