RESUMO

The main objective of this dissertation is to present the main transformations underwent by Brazilian science and technology policy (STP) in the last six decades, with particular focus in the more recent changes (after 2000). The arguments concerning this policy s trajectory is based on the Policy Analysis framework, which makes it possible to take into account subtle questions related to public policies that are generally ignored, such as power asymmetries, particularities of the decision making process, conflicts, values, interests, etc. Moreover, this approach - and, in particular, one of its concepts, that of advocacy coalitions - allows us to understand the meaning of transformations in public policies from a broader historical perspective. Also the field of Social Studies of Science and Technology constitutes an important part of the theoretical and methodological approach this work is based on. In this sense, the ideas derived from the Latin American Thought on Science, Technology and Society from the 1960 s on are particularly interesting. In this work we identify two main phases of the Brazilian science and technology policy in this period: the first one, stretching from the 1950 s to the 1980 s, which was inserted in the nationalist project; and the second, starting in 1980, in which markets and private companies gain an increasing importance. We emphasize, moreover, the constant participation of the Brazilian research community as this policy s dominant actor. Finally, we stress the promising emergence of an actor whose participation in the Brazilian science and technology policy has historically been peripheral: the social movements. This argument is made based on the analysis of the Social Technology movement which, although still very recent, has so far been one of the main mechanisms of inclusion of the demands of this actor in the STP agenda
