Science and Innovation Diplomacy (S&ID) has emerged in recent years as a relevant scholarly movement and interdisciplinary research agenda internationally. This field is promoting a significant impact on the understanding of the cultural and political dynamics of Science, Technology and Innovation (ST&I), implementing initiatives from local to global level. Notwithstanding, S&ID is growing asymmetrically around the world, setting up over a particular configuration in the so-called Global South (GS) societies. In Latin America (LA), although S&ID is a recent, unequal and intra-nationally fragmented process, there are important achievements that have been able to create a favorable mix of approaches, agendas, and practices in this field. Addressing the scope of the special issue "Science Diplomacy and Sustainable Development: Perspectives from Latin America," this article aims to present a comprehensive analytical typology to the study of the emerging experiences of S&ID in LA, catching the diversity of this research agenda. This is a qualitative merged method-based study, sustained by a literature review, documentary research, online data analysis, and typology building. We understand S&ID in LA as a tentative re-organization of different states and subnational actors around the study and institutionalization of the governance of contemporary transformations on the systems of ST&I.
科学与创新外交（S&ID）近年来已成为国际上一个相关的学术动向和跨学科研究议程。该领域正在对理解科学、技术与创新（ST&I）的文化和政治动态产生重大影响，并在从地方到全球层面实施相关举措。尽管如此，科学与创新外交在全球范围内的发展并不均衡，在所谓的全球南方（GS）社会呈现出一种特定的格局。在拉丁美洲（LA），尽管科学与创新外交是一个新近出现、不均衡且在国内存在碎片化的过程，但也取得了重要成果，能够在该领域创造出方法、议程和实践的良好组合。针对“科学外交与可持续发展：拉丁美洲视角”这一特刊的范围，本文旨在为研究拉丁美洲科学与创新外交的新兴经验提供一种全面的分析类型学，把握这一研究议程的多样性。这是一项基于定性合并方法的研究，通过文献综述、文献研究、在线数据分析和类型学构建来支撑。我们将拉丁美洲的科学与创新外交理解为不同国家和次国家行为体围绕当代科学、技术与创新系统变革治理的研究及制度化进行的初步重组。
