This article discusses the elaboration of global scientific agendas in relation to the definition of countries' positions in the international system of S&T. The circulation of techno-scientific knowledge around the globe has grown in the last decades. There emerges an integrated system with intense flows of information that, according to some authors, does not have a hegemonic centre of production or "calculation centrals". Yet it is argued here that a new hegemony is being formed with the distinction of a new global techno-scientific agenda. This is implemented by the controversy on climate change, which will demand a rush for the production of a new technological paradigm - productive, but sustainable. This is the new frontier of scientific and technological knowledge, reconfigurating the patterns of center and periphery in the international system of science and technology.
