Resuemn: Academic autonomy has been a dominant issue among Latin American social studies of science, given that the production of knowledge in the region has been mostly suspected for its lack of originality and the replication of Euro-American models. Politization within the higher education system and recurrent militar interventions in the universities have been considered main structural causes for this heteronomy and, thus, the main obstacles for scientific achievements. In this book we analyze the struggle for academic autonomy taking into account the relevant differences betwwen the itinerary of social and natural sciences, in the midst between institucionalization, professionalization and engagement.
