ABSTRACT
The experiences of technological changes in production and market adjustments of the first three decades of the post-war period are quite different from the radical changes that are presently taking place and are continuing in the decades to come. The revolutionary technological developments that are restructuring the content and context of world productive activities in the international division of labour place a premium on those institutions and those economies which have set a long term developmental strategy. In the more complex circumstances of today's technological revolution, mobilization of the nation's state and the mechanisms of protectionism of the new development run parallel to and reinforce internationally the prescription for the ideological and theoretical support to liberalize, to privatize and to integrate markets. The main axes around which the strategic options revolve are the requirements for technological transformation, the qualitative changes in the organizational constitution of the public and private sectors, and existence of an integral and consistent long term strategy.
