Trayecto y situación de la ciencia política en Jalisco vistos por cuatro de sus artífices

Abstract

In this paper, the course and situation of the political science at Jalisco, Mexico, is reviewed, as the second largest epistemic community of the country. The document is divided into three sections. In the first one, we briefly contextualize the course and discussions that Mexican political science has had at national level. In the second one, we demonstrate the path of academic programs of political science in the state, both undergraduate and postgraduate studies, as well as research about political issues in Jalisco. In the third section, we ponder trends in the discipline from this part of the country using the opinions of four of their architects.
