Abstract

The international research has recorded several innovation strategies of countries, as a result of constraints exerted by the characteristics of relationships and the productive structure that mark innovation systems, by the impositions of institutional frameworks, and by the conjunctures of struggles and alliances between actors in defense of their interests. The article discusses this conjecture, analyzing mainly the changes in Brazilian innovation policy in response to the impasse of the development process that started in the mid-2010s in the country. The data were
obtained from different legal norms and official statistical bases in the country, in addition to consulting international rankings, following performance throughout the 2010s. The transition from
a policy oriented towards interactions to another with an emphasis on cost reduction is therefore related both to the tendential traits of strengthening conventional sectors and to a game of positions in defense of interests between winners and losers in the crisis.
