Political Science in Ecuador, 2005-2019. A discipline in search of institutionalization by Edgar Alberto Zamora-Aviles, María Paz Jervis-Pastor

“…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. …”
