Description
Summary:This article explores the pervasiveness of the concept of “Innovation Diplomacy” (ID) used by Brazil to insert itself in the international context of Science diplomacy (SD), within the outlook of academic research of international research in science, technology and innovation (ST&I). Divided into three sections, the first looks to the origin of the term “Science diplomacy”, its definition and use as an instrument of foreign policy. The next section, it brings forward the Brazilian perspective of Science diplomacy, represented by the concept of “Innovation Diplomacy”, as proposal and way of insertion of the Country in the international context of Scientific Diplomacy. The third section focuses on the identification and qualitative and quantitative analysis of the articles collected, using the bibliometric analysis methodology, which addresses the “Innovation Diplomacy”. In conclusion, the study shows that there is a level of pervasiveness. However, the research confirms the hypothesis that the use of the concept of ID in academia, disregarding governmental agencies, such as Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation, it is still embryonic.
