In search of a lost treasure: cultural mapping studies in the field of Political Science and International Relations in Brazil

Abstract We investigate how the theme of “culture” has been studied in Political Science and International Relations (PSIR) in Brazilian academia from 1990 to 2017. A “systematic literature review” was conducted, assessing 183 online articles. The data collected suggests differences between PS and IR, a lack of methodology, and some degree of causality between institutions, authors, and the research approach adopted in the articles.

摘要 本研究针对1990年至2017年间巴西学术界在政治科学与国际关系（Political Science and International Relations，简称PSIR）领域内对“文化”主题的研究现状展开考察。本研究开展了一项系统文献综述（systematic literature review），对183篇在线学术文章进行了评估。所收集的数据表明，政治学与国际关系学在该主题的研究中存在差异，相关研究普遍缺乏规范方法论，且文章涉及的研究机构、作者与所采用的研究路径之间存在一定程度的因果关联。
