| Sumario: | The present work´s frame is a new problematic field regarding relations between science, technology and society. Since the first decade of 2000, research in this field attempts to understand how science, technology and innovation (STI) activities can contribute in a direct way to the reversal of poverty and inequality in peripheral countries. In Latin America these issues have been mobilized by some representatives of the academic, governmental and social spheres who do not agree with the neoliberal orientation given to STI activities, which binds them, above all, to the productivity, competitiveness and economical growth of the market model. Thus, the configuration of the field which we denominate science, technology and innovation for social inclusion has been expressed as much in theoretic discussion as in the scope of science, technology and innovation policies. This paper addresses this phenomenon based on the theoretical and methodological approach of Policy Analysis, focusing the review on the experiences of STI for social inclusion policies that have taken place in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay between 2004 and 2016. The analytical exercise seeks to explain the context of problematization that gives birth to these trends within the Latin-American STI policy, as well as to explain why these trends have been translated into public policy interventions of marginal character and of negligible influence facing the hegemonic paradigm of PCTI. |
