The interaction between the sea and the economy gives this environment enormous strategic importance. The forms of economic exploitation are diverse and include sectors such as energy, fishing, tourism, transportation, biotechnology, and shipbuilding. For Brazil, country with an extensive coastline and vast maritime space, its relevance is especially evident. In this scenario, it is fundamental to elaborate public policies aimed at maritime economic activities. For this purpose, a survey of the numbers referring to such activities is essential for a correct understanding of their dimension. Thus, the objective of this text is to point out the importance of measuring in a continuous and systematic way the Brazilian Maritime GDP, through a specific methodology, as well as to identify the main motivation for this initiative. Based on the descriptive inference method and on bibliographic survey, it was possible to verify the need to use updated data to support the formulation of public policies and decision-making on the subject, as well as to broaden the debate within other actors, such as academia, private sector and civil society.

“…En 2021 Brasil cumplió 40 años de investigaciones científicas desarrolladas en la Antártida. Si bien, en un primer momento tuvo influencia la geopolítica a través de la Marina brasileña, principal impulsora de la adhesión al Tratado Antártico, en los años ochenta esa visión se transformó, incluyendo otros objetivos en ciencias ambientales y biología, con lo cual hoy la participación depende principalmente de intereses geopolíticos, prioridades políticas y científicas, y mecanismos idóneos de financiación (Câmara et al, 2021).…”

Política exterior y de CTI en Colombia: la diplomacia científica como frontera

2022

La diplomacia científica (DC) se consolida como una propuesta ecléctica y de frontera entre la ciencia, la tecnología y la innovación (CTI), por un lado, y las Relaciones Internacionales y la política exterior, por el otro. ¿Cómo se articulan las políticas del sector ciencia y tecnología, y relaciones internacionales en Colombia en torno a la diplomacia científica? A partir de un análisis exploratorio y de naturaleza cualitativa-descriptiva de documentos de política pública en el período 2018-2022, se identifican las acciones de dc que Colombia ha implementado. Concluimos que se han dado pasos importantes y acelerados, pero persisten desafíos en materia de articulación y consolidación de la DC como una estrategia efectiva que facilite la consecución de objetivos tanto para el sector CTI, como de Relaciones Internacionales. Este artículo señala las bases conceptuales para comprender de manera situada la dc, algunas de sus críticas, y ubica la experiencia colombiana en perspectiva comparada con la de Brasil, México y Chile.

“…These main areas of research were: (I) relationships between South America and Antarctica; In recent decades, different analyses of productivity and scientific outputs related to research station capacity use and the level of interaction within international collaboration networks focusing on Antarctic research have been published (Dastidar 2007, Dudeney & Walton 2012, Ji et al 2014, Gray & Hughes 2016, Kim & Jung 2016, Jang et al 2020). In the Latin American context, three studies have been published regarding bibliometric patterns in Antarctic science research, which focused on Brazilian research (Stefenon et al 2013, Boyadjian et al 2020, Câmara et al 2021. Bibliometric studies on the research output of Chilean institutions have mainly focused on several biological disciplines (Krauskopf 2008) or have explored the development of astronomy in Chile (Cortes et al 2018).…”

The changes implemented in 2005 in the development strategies of Antarctic science carried out by Chile have had a positive impact on the scientific productivity of the Chilean Antarctic Science Program (PROCIEN). We analysed scientometric indicators from between 2009 and 2019. The bibliographic data were extracted from the Web of Science database using search query keywords. We used multiple correspondence analysis to identify specific trends and also network analyses of international collaboration in VOSviewer. The number of Antarctic science publications in Chile has gradually increased from 21 in 2009 to 95 in 2019. The rise in the number of articles was higher in journals for the first impact factor quartile. Research lines showing increased first-quartile impact factor papers corresponded to Antarctic ecosystems, biotechnology and geosciences. The main geographical domains in which such research activities have been carried out corresponded to in the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula. Fieldwork data are the main sources for the production of scientific articles, and there are three science platforms within which most of these papers concentrate. The diversification of funding sources, the implementation of improvements in the selection process and Chile's alignment with Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research programmes have contributed to improving the science that Chile has developed in Antarctica.
