Abstract

This article analyzes the constitution of the area of studies on the history and development of political science in Latin America over the past ten years. Several
studies have been proposed to account for this process showing the growth of the discipline in the region. In this paper we will highlight the main actors and their scientific and academic production, as well as the processes of institutionalization and professionalization of political science. This article aims to classify these studies from the early exploratory approaches up to the production of more sofisticated descriptive works, from a comparative perspective, in order to finally arrive at the new current trends that attempt to perform a “metatheoretical” approach with contributions from epistemology, sociology of knowledge and the history of the science.
