| Summary: | Through the Theory of the Social Systems of the German sociologist Niklas Luhmann, we
argue about the scientific, technological, economic, legal and political standing subsystems
in the generation of the biotechnology of sugarcane in the North of Rio de Janeiro state,
Brazil. We give particular emphasis to Campos dos Goytacazes, where the groups of research
are settled, hosted at Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense (UENF) and at Universidade
Federal Rural do Rio De Janeiro (UFRRJ). In the case hereof, we verify the processes
of interaction between functional differentiated daily systems of the scientific practice
through the analyses of projects and documents and based on interviews. We also confirm
the distinct forms of assimilation and reaction to the information of the environment by the structure of expectation of the groups. As a result, we emphasize how much local
production of modern biotechnology needs oriented public policies to carry it out. We
confirm, thus, the tendency that the process of generation of technology in peripheral
countries works due to a structural coupling between State, science and economy, whereas,
in the main countries, this process is made independently of the main performance of
the first one. |
