Abstract

This work is a study of international technology transfer policies in Latin American countries. It shows the need to have new technological developments and economic policy changes as a frame of reference to understand the evolution of thought about international technology transfer in the region and the consequent design and redesign of policies in this regard. We hold the thesis that, paradoxically, these policies have been simultaneously successful and frustrating and that, in terms of political technology, international technology transfer plays an important role in the social stability of the future. In this way, the historical evolution of thought and international technology transfer policies in Latin America is examined, as well as the design, implementation and institutional results of the respective policies.
