About the Journal
Ciencia Política is an instrument to communicate with the public and, specially, with the Spanish speaking academic and scientific-political community. It is a biannual publication that originated in 2006 aimed at catalyzing the political debate in the Colombian arena, based on a global perspective alien to disciplinary reclusion and directed towards developing the public role of contributing to building of a more informed, critical and active general public.
Ciencia Política is mainly focused on the publication of unpublished articles of research, reflection and review of topics in the areas of political theory, political analysis, government and public policies and international and global relations. To that end, the journal is structured around three sections: Core theme, in which a previously selected theme is addressed in detail; Other research, which includes texts on different themes and orientations; and Recensions, dedicated to unpublished review of recent publications, dialogs with other academic articles, unpublished translation of relevant texts, or discussions on current political issues.

Vol. 19 No. 37 (2024): Las elecciones en Colombia y en Brasil. Más allá de los cien días
Con un considerable retraso debido a un sinfín de razones, finalmente sale a la luz este número de la revista Ciencia Política, concebido como una edición binacional destinada al tratamiento de dos experiencias de gobiernos de izquierda emergentes en la realidad latinoamericana: los gobiernos de Gustavo Francisco Petro Urrego y Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, ambos cargados de significación especial. Por un lado, estos gobiernos representan la expectativa de los sectores populares de ambos países frente a gobiernos de corte neoliberal que han tensado al límite la resistencia de estos sectores. Por otro lado, de forma ciertamente paradójica, asumen el gobierno con triunfos electorales ajustados y condicionados por relaciones de fuerzas sociales que los obligan a transitar con extrema dificultad hacia el cumplimiento de sus propuestas programáticas.
