Políticas de Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação no Brasil: uma análise dos impactos com base na execução orçamentária no período de 2006 a 2017

Abstract

Budget execution is a federal government management tool capable of operationalizing the implementation of public policies. Thus, the present research aims to analyze the variations in the budgetary execution of the S & T function and of the three subfunctions: Scientific Development; Technological Development and Engineering; Dissemination of the Scientific and Technological Knowledge and its expenditure programs of the current Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovation and Communications (MCTIC) and demonstrate the impacts on the implementation of ST & I policies between the years 2006 and 2017. The justification for choosing MCTIC as a unit of analysis is the representativeness of its resources in relation to the total allocated by the federal government in its functions and subfunctions and for being responsible for the formulation of policies directed to the area. From the methodological point of view, the research was qualitative, descriptive and exploratory and was based, fundamentally, on the collection and analysis of data and records in public official planning and budget systems, specifically in reports on budget execution and evaluation of public policies of CT & I. Newspaper and magazine reports were also used, which addressed the present research theme, at the time of the implementation of government policies, and official documents made available on the home pages of the organs related to the ST & I area, during the analysis period. As a result, variations in the budget execution of the Science and Technology function and the sub-functions of "Scientific Development", "Technological Development and Engineering" and "Dissemination of Scientific and Technological Knowledge" of the MCTIC analyzed in this dissertation suffered a decrease in the periods of economic crises and cuts in MCTIC's budget, resulting in reduced investments in science, technology and innovation and in the interruption of scientific and technological projects considered strategic for the country. In addition, this work came to fill the lack of studies on this topic in the country and encourage discussions in academia and society.
