Développement des biotechnologies et biotechnologies pour le développement au Mexique, l'impossible appropriation

Abstract: Since the beginning of the 1980?s, Mexico has aspired to develop its research in biotechnologies as a leverage for the country?s development. In spite of Mexico?s biodiversity and public research network potential, Mexican biotechnological research remains too isolated from political institutions and the private sector to evolve easily from fundamental research to applied research and to propose interesting inventions. In addition, the national objectives for development remain unclear when considering the trends of globalization. Under such conditions, biotechnologies have served as instruments of development only with considerable difficulty and the trend of techno-economic dependence tends to increase in this sector.
