Abstract

This paper presents a broader study that proposes three likely scenarios of scientific and technological development for the transition from modernization to a postmodern society. The goal is to identify and assess strategies and alternatives for action to make desirable futures for science and technology in Mexico feasible.
These three scenarios—Trend, Emerging, and Alternative—consider three basic dimensions: a. Context, b. Dominant technologies, and c. Social impact.
