Sumario:This paper is an introduction to the role of science and technology in the periphery of the international system. The technology of the so called underdeveloped countries or peripheral has the characteristic of having different but significant levels of progress in several areas. However, the condition of the peripheral location of these States often condemns them to receive varied pressures from the center of the international system, especially when they are cutting edge technologies and dual use ones. Science and technology play a central role in international relations and are present in matters of strategic importance: weapons, communications, economics, development, etc.. Directly or indirectly an international issue touches a technological issue: nuclear and missile technology which resulted in military use may be destructive, constitute one of the examples that illustrate this.
