The Triangle of Sabato is a model of science and technological policy that propose conditions to really existence of a scientific-technological policymaker system. Is necessary three elements: The State (like designer and executor of the politics), the scientific infrastructure-technological (like sector of offer of technology) and the productive sector (like demandante of technology), are related strongly of permanent way. These are the interrelationships of the triangle.
Each vertex has to have solid intrarrelaciones, those exist between the diverse institutions that compose it. For example, in the State has to have coherence between the implicit politics and the explicit politics, between the diverse ministries and autonomous organisms, etc.
Finally interactions (extra-relationships) refer to the relations that have the vertexes with entities of the outside.
The triangle is the simplest model of technological dependency: while stronger are the extrarrelaciones, feebler or non-existent will be the inter and intrarrelaciones and more demorará the country to diminish his dependency.
The idea of the triangle was proposed by John Kenneth Galbraith and developed like model of scientific politics-technological by Jorge Alberto Sabato.
