Resumen
A inicios del siglo XXI, la Ciencia Política experimentó un crecimiento en el Perú con la aparición de programas de pregrado, aunque en el campo profesional este crecimiento fuese dispar. Esta situación ha generado un debate sobre la esencia de la profesión politológica, detonado en el 2024 por la aprobación del Colegio Profesional de Politólogos. De esta manera, esta tesis tiene como objetivo analizar cómo los egresados de Ciencia Política describen la configuración de su profesión en Lima durante las dos primeras décadas del siglo XXI, lo que significa analizar el rol de su formación, las competencias que los distinguen y su desempeño laboral. A través de la realización de entrevistas a egresados de Ciencia Política que se estaban desempeñando como politólogos, se encuentra que esta configuración ha estado cimentada en tres bases: el perfil de una persona fascinada por la política y con interés de ser agente de cambio, con considerable resiliencia; las competencias analíticas desde un enfoque interdisciplinario y una relación tensa con el Estado.
At the beginning of the 21st century, Political Science experienced growth in Peru with the emergence of undergraduate programs, although in the professional field this growth was uneven. This situation has generated a debate about the essence of the political science profession, triggered in 2024 by the approval of the Professional Association of Political Scientists. Thus, this thesis aims to analyze how Political Science graduates describe the configuration of their profession in Lima during the first two decades of the 21st century, which will entail analyzing the role of their training, the competencies that distinguish them, and their job performance. Through interviews with Political Science graduates who were working as political scientists, we find that this configuration has been based on three foundations: the profile of a person fascinated by politics and interested in being an agent of change, with considerable resilience; analytical skills from an interdisciplinary perspective; and a tense relationship with the State.
