| description | This article explores the development of political science as an academic discipline in Ecuador between 2005 and 2019. Three main institutionalization- related dimensions are scrutinized: advancement of training at universities, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels; progression of Ecuadorian- originated publications in high-impact indexed scientific journals, (such as those included in SCOPUS, ISI-WoS) and the evolution of the local academic community. Primary data was obtained from a documentary revision of official higher education reports. Additionally, a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications was performed in the above indexed journals. Finally, a set of interviews was made with members of the local academic community. As a result, it seems possible to claim that after the last 15 years, political science in Ecuador is in the midst of a budding institutionalization process. To a large extent this gradual strengthening is the result of a larger availability of academic programs, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels and of the enhanced relevancy and coherence of the discipline and its output. However, a further consolidation of political science as an academic discipline in Ecuador is hindered by the persistent confusion between so-called “political studies” and “political science proper” and by the lingering prevalence of an identification between the two. This is also related to the unclear social and professional status political scientist enjoy in Ecuadorian society. Many questions remain unsettled regarding the full scope of the discipline’s institutionalization. Also, a thoughtful assessment of this analytical category still remains to be undertaken. Legitimate queries can be made, for instance, about what is the meaning of “politics” as such in Ecuadorian political science. |

Obtuvimos la información primaria mediante revisión documental de fuentes oficiales de educación superior; además realizamos un análisis bibliométrico de publicaciones científicas en los mencionados índices y entrevistas a miembros de la comunidad académica del área. Entre los resultados, podemos afirmar que después de 15 años la ciencia política en Ecuador se encuentra en un proceso inicial de institucionalización, fundamentalmente porque ha crecido la oferta académica universitaria de grado y posgrado y se ha fortalecido su pertinencia y coherencia. Sin embargo, en cuanto a la consolidación disciplinar, en el país persiste una concepción general de “estudios políticos” antes que la denominada “ciencia política en sentido estricto”; esto se relaciona también con la concepción ambigua sobre el lugar social y profesional de politólogos y politólogas en la sociedad ecuatoriana. Para el debate quedan múltiples discusiones respecto a las dimensiones analizadas sobre institucionalización, así como una evaluación reflexiva de esta categoría analítica y de “lo político” de la ciencia política en Ecuador.Neste artigo analisamos o desenvolvimento da ciência política como disciplina acadêmica no Equador entre 2005 e 2019, com base em três eixos relacionados à sua institucionalização: evolução da formação universitária de graduação e pós-graduação, das publicações científicas "do Equador" em "alto impacto" periódicos indexados (SCOPUS, ISI-WoS) e a dinâmica da comunidade acadêmica. As informações primárias foram obtidas por meio de uma análise documental de fontes oficiais de ensino superior y realizamos uma análise bibliométrica das publicações científicas nos referidos índices e entrevistas com membros da comunidade acadêmica da área. Dentre os resultados, pode-se afirmar que após 15 anos a ciência política no Equador está em um processo inicial de institucionalização, fundamentalmente porque a oferta acadêmica universitária de graduação e pós-graduação cresceu e sua relevância e coerência se fortaleceram. Porém, em termos de consolidação disciplinar, persiste no país uma concepção geral de “estudos políticos” e não a chamada “ciência política em sentido estrito” e isso também está relacionado à concepção ambígua sobre o lugar social e profissional dos cientistas políticos na sociedade equatoriana. Para o debate permanecem múltiplas as discussões a respeito das dimensões analisadas sobre a institucionalização, bem como uma avaliação reflexiva dessa categoria analítica e do "político" da ciência política no Equador.Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales, Sede Ecuador2021-05-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículo evaluado por paresapplication/pdftext/htmlapplication/xmlapplication/epub+ziphttps://iconos.flacsoandes.edu.ec/index.php/iconos/article/view/466710.17141/iconos.70.2021.4667Íconos - Revista de Ciencias Sociales; Núm. 70 (2021): Construir fronteras e imaginar ciudadanías: sociedades transfronterizas amazónicas; 193-221Íconos - Revista de Ciencias Sociales; n. 70 (2021): Construir fronteiras e imaginar cidadanias: sociedades transfronteriças amazônicas; 193-221Íconos.
