Resumen:
Sumario:This article is a product of research on the historical development of the institutional capacities of the National Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT) to contribute to the formation of disciplinary fields in Mexico. Its objective is to specify the policies, programs and strategies that favored the development of educational disciplines. The historiography allowed to record the process of institutionalization of Mexican science and technology and its proximity to the systems of the region. In the process of reviewing the state of knowledge, the relationship between regional cooperation processes, scientific policies and the link between science and development through the state organization was shown. The documentary testimony exposed the influence of the United States on science and technology in Latin America through the control of political and economic agendas in multinational organizations, the formation of the scientific field to reduce poverty and establish state planning as an indispensable condition for bank financing or cooperation funds as it was in the Alliance for Progress. In this context, he realizes the strengthening of the Science and Technology Councils of Latin American countries.
