Abstract

BRANDAO, Tiago. Portugal and the nato scientific programme(1958-1974). Relações Internacionais [online]. 2012, n.35, pp.81-101. ISSN 1645-9199.

It is from the second post-war that scientific internationalism became finally bonded to security strategy issues. Several international bodies created in the second post-war were focusing on issues of science. It should be noted nato, through its Science Committee, that took care to build an Atlantic community of researchers with skills in pure science, understood as the source and mainstay of economic growth, political harmony and military force. This article will explore the nato’s role in the emergence of a culture of scientific policy in Portugal, although limited to the strict circuit of international forums regarding the topic of science and research yet reveals some not so well known episodes.

Keywords : nato; Portugal; Cold War; scientific policy.
