| description | The present article analyzes training in public policy at the undergraduate level in Political Science programs at 11 Latin American countries. This research addresses the profile of instructors, the most often quoted authors and texts and the importance granted to knowledge produced both inside and outside the region. The examination of 109 syllabi from 69 universities can detect the incidence of significantly different training backgrounds among instructors. In some cases locally obtained degrees prevail, while in other cases, foreign training is predominant. This has a direct impact in the relative prominence granted to either domestic or external sources in course reading lists. The article is able to establish that – in spite of recent progress- the use of references taken from texts produced within the region is still limited. In all countries -although in a different degree in each case- , the process of building a “science of policy” is hampered by the straightforward and indiscriminating adaptation of theoretical models and frameworks originally produced in and for countries in the developed world, as well as for the still scarce referencing of local intellectual production and/or of Latin American sources. This, in turn, obstructs a meaningful dialogue with the most influential international intellectual production and hinders future prospects for homegrown research able to account for specific national and regional experiences and dynamics. |

El presente artículo tiene como objeto de análisis la enseñanza de las políticas públicas en las licenciaturas de Ciencia Política de 11 países de América Latina. Se abordan los perfiles de los docentes, los enfoques privilegiados, los autores y textos más citados, y el sitial asignado al conocimiento producido dentro y fuera del subcontinente. Tras el análisis de 109 programas de 63 universidades, se constatan distintas matrices de formación superior de los docentes –en unas predominan las titulaciones locales y en otras las del exterior–. Lo anterior se asocia con la influencia relativa que otorgan a la producción académica nacional y extranjera al momento de elaborar las bibliografías de sus cursos. Se comprueba también la insuficiente recepción de textos producidos en otros países de la región, aunque las referencias a la producción latinoamericana han crecido progresivamente. Con diferentes grados según el país, las manifestaciones de asimilación lineal de marcos y enfoques teóricos producidos en y para los países del norte, la autorreferenciación de la producción nacional y la escasa conexión con otras propuestas latinoamericanas aparecen como los principales obstáculos para construir una “ciencia de las políticas” que, al mismo tiempo, se instituya en diálogo con la producción internacional más influyente, y resulte apta para dar cuenta de las particularidades de cada experiencia nacional y de las dinámicas regionales. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar o ensino de políticas públicas nos cursos de Ciências Políticas em 11 países latino-americanos. São abordados os perfis dos professores, as abordagens privilegiadas, os autores e textos mais citados e o lugar atribuído ao conhecimento produzido dentro e fora do subcontinente. Após a análise de 109 programas de 63 universidades, encontram-se diferentes matrizes de formação superior de professores - em algumas predominam os diplomas locais e, em outras, os estrangeiros. O anterior está associado à influência relativa que conferem à produção acadêmica nacional e estrangeira na preparação das bibliografias de seus cursos. Verifica-se também a insuficiente recepção de textos produzidos em outros países da região, embora as referências à produção latino-americana tenham crescido progressivamente. Em diferentes graus dependendo do país, as manifestações de assimilação linear de referenciais teóricos e abordagens produzidas nos e para os países do Norte, a autorreferenciação da produção nacional e a escassa conexão com outras propostas latino-americanas aparecem como os principais obstáculos à construção de uma “ciência das políticas” que, ao mesmo tempo, se institui em diálogo com a produção internacional mais influente, é capaz de dar conta das particularidades de cada experiência nacional e dinâmica regional.
