| description | There are minerals that boost economic growth and which are essential for the development of sustainable technologies. These critical raw materials (CRMs) were determined by models created for complex economies. This paper aims to examine the mineral policies regarding CRMs of the main Latin-American economies, and the role of their respective National Innovation Systems (NIS) in the pursuit of greater economic complexity. This is achieved through a comparative assessment method applied to the mineral policies of the principal nations of the region —Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia and Chile. In this way, we found that due to the simplicityof these economies, as well as mineral policies that disregard their respective NIS, the increase of the economic complexity of the states in question is compromised. This is characterized by the exiguous value added through the interaction of knowledge and capabilities regarding their mineral resources and industry. |

Existen minerales dinamizadores de crecimiento económico, fundamentales para el desarrollo de tecnologías sostenibles. Estas materias primas críticas (MPC) son determinadas por modelos creados para economías complejas. El objetivo de este artículo es examinar las políticas minerales de materias primas críticas en las principales economías de América Latina, y el papel de sus respectivos sistemas nacionales de innovación (SNI), en búsqueda de mayor complejidad económica, mediante un método de evaluación comparativo aplicado a la política mineral de las principales naciones de esta zona —Brasil, México, Argentina, Colombia y Chile—. Descubrimos que debido a la simplicidad de estas economías y de políticas minerales que desestiman sus respectivos sistemas nacionales de innovación, se compromete el aumento de la complejidad económica de los Estados en cuestión, la cual se caracteriza por la precaria adición de valor mediante la interacción de conocimiento y capacidades en relación con sus recursos minerales e industria.
