research community, science and technology policy, social studies of science and technology, policy analysis, developed countriesAbstract
The work approaches the perception of advanced countries researchers who analyze the transformation in course in the research and higher education institutions concerning the research community’s role (vis-à-vis the bureaucrats and entrepreneurs) in their policy making process. Its objective, besides providing an updated panoramic vision on the theme for Latin-American colleagues, is to show that many of our community’s characteristics seem to be equally present, sometimes in a lessened way, in those countries. It is hoped that it could contribute to a more adequate consideration of these characteristics in the elaboration of the science and technology policy of our countries.
