This paper aims to analyze Venezuela's public policy in the field of Science, Technology, and Innovation from a comparative perspective and within the framework of structural differences at the national level that foster an interesting and complex discussion. This discussion is based on experiences before and after the process of national transformation promoted by president Hugo Chávez since the approval of the Bolivarian Constitution in 1999; in contrast to previous regimes that promoted development models with institutions, participatory mechanisms, public management models, and leadership styles, which heavily relied on the political power. In order to achieve this task, a review of theoretical debates on comparative politics was carried out. It allowed the construction of a comparative perspective, taking as references official documents regarding Venezuela's public policy in Science, Technology, and Innovation and the reconfiguration of the relations of the National System of Science, Technology, and Innovation (SNCTI) that has characterized Venezuela's scientific-technological structure after the rise of the Bolivarian Revolution. Finally, the conclusions and challenges identified throughout the analysis are presented.
