| description | Latin American(ist) Political Science has experienced in recent years a shift in its research agenda. At the end of the 20th century, it thematically orbited around democratization, the subsequent acquisition of “institutional quality” by the region's new democracies, and the impact of both processes on the formulation of public policies. The study of foreign, defense and security policies was affected by these great theoretical and analytical tendencies of the discipline, which also exerted a considerable influence in international studies. However, in the 21st century, political studies were oriented towards problems related to statehood and territoriality: federalism, multilevel governance, nationalization/regionalization of governments, and “sub-national politics”. Slowly but surely, Political Science began to deal with questions that are the province of political geography, albeit with its back to it. This article argues that there is a fundamental problem in this geographical turn: the scant knowledge that political scientists and internationalists have about geopolitics and its main findings. |

La Ciencia Política latinoamerican(ist)a ha experimentado en los últimos años un giro en su agenda de investigación. A finales del siglo XX, orbitaba temáticamente alrededor de la democratización, la ulterior adquisición de “calidad institucional” por parte de las nuevas democracias de la región, y el impacto de ambos procesos en la formulación de políticas públicas. El estudio de las políticas exteriores, de defensa y seguridad se enmarcaba en estas grandes tendencias teóricas y analíticas de la disciplina, que ejercían también un influjo considerable en el campo de los estudios internacionales. Sin embargo, en el siglo XXI, los estudios políticos se orientaron hacia problemáticas relativas a la estatalidad y la territorialidad: el federalismo, la gobernanza multinivel, la nacionalización/regionalización de gobiernos y la “política subnacional”. Lenta pero decididamente, la Ciencia Política comenzó a ocuparse de cuestiones que son de la incumbencia de la geografía política, aunque de espaldas a ella. En este artículo se sostiene que hay un problema de fondo en ese giro geográfico: el escaso conocimiento que tienen politólogos e internacionalistas sobre la geopolítica y sus hallazgos principales.
