Abstract

CUJABANTE-VILLAMIL, Ximena Andrea. The discipline of international relations in Brazil: An analysis from the sociology of science. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2019, vol.17, n.26, pp.289-305. ISSN 1900-6586.  https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.417.

The sociology of science has become increasingly important, and progressively used by the academic community around the world to account for the development and evolution of different disciplines. Although these studies are conducted regularly in the United States and Europe, international relations, in Latin America, have been seldom explored from the sociology of science. Thus, this article intends to take the first step in this regard. Based on a case study in Brazil analyzing international relations as a discipline in that country, and according to the methodological contributions of Randall Collins, it evaluates and provides feedback on the status of international studies in this national context.

Keywords : Brazil; international relations; knowledge; Latin America; sociology of science.
