Summary: This thesis aims to analyse how Brazil has placed on its agenda the politics of science, technology and innovation in a systemic and interactive approach. Here it is used the theoretical approach of national innovation systems, in Aalborg tradition, which emphasizes: systemic policies conducted by the Nation-State, learning processes arising from interactions between agents, and is guided in idiosyncratic capacity learning to the different nations. This approach has found space to develop theoretically and empirically in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), from 1980/90 decades, which is currently research reference on the subject. In this thesis, it is demonstrated how Brazil, over its process of economic development based on industrialization, from 1930 to 2000, has excluded policies that emphasize the interaction among agents in a national system of science, technology, innovation and learning, what is beyond the guidelines provided by the OECD. It is also evaluated the current plans, which attempt to engage with the guidelines of this international organization. Keywords: Technological Innovation. Brazil. Learning Capabilities. Learning. Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.
