“…2 For general assessments of the development of political science in Brazil, see Almeida, 2005;Amorim Neto & Santos, 2015;Lamounier, 1982;and Lessa, 2011. 3 In seminars where we presented the preliminary results of the survey, we were asked why we had not analysed books published by political scientists. The analysis of books is important -especially up to the 1990s when a good portion of the production was published in edited collections -and a survey dedicated to them will serve to complement the analysis undertaken here.…”

The article analyses the production of Brazilian political science, as published in six periodicals (Dados, Revista Brasileira de Ciencias Sociais, Novos Estudos Cebrap, Lua Nova,Opiniao Publica and Brazilian Journal of Political Science) over a period of five decades (1966-2015). The text emphasizes two aspects: first, the distribution of articles by thematic areas of political science; and second, the type of method used, with an emphasis on the variety of statistical procedures used by the authors. The article observes the growing volume of articles published by Brazilian political scientists, particularly from the second half of the 1990s. One of the conclusions of the paper is that although statistics are used - and in recent years more advanced techniques have spread - Brazilian political science is far from being considered an eminently quantitative discipline.

“…In all cases, the hierarchy of the discipline is more or less implicit in the transformations described and in the themes and approaches highlighted, but it is not explored. Analyses of the 'field' so far undertaken, such as Lessa ( , 2011, tend to highlight its diversity, without addressing its hierarchy. The few analyses that aim to rebuild systems of opposition, such as Keinert and Silva (2010), consider exogenous factors in determining the oppositions among groups, without analyzing the structure of production.…”

This article proposes an indicator for measuring the hierarchy of academic production in Brazilian political science, based on Qualis, the impact factor and the share of articles on Political Science in selected journals. The dataset comprises 23 renowned national journals. Findings show that disciplinary traditions emphasizing institutional analysis as well as quantitative and nomothetic approaches, based on the proposition and testing of hypotheses and causal arguments predominate. This state of affairs, in turn, is explained by particular parameters for evaluating the academic production, that is, the institutionalization of a specific disciplinary view, a scientificpolitological one.Keywords: Brazilian political science; hierarchy of production; Qualis; disciplinary traditions; evaluation.igorous production about a discipline, particularly by its own initiative, is a sign of maturity. Recent literature on Brazilian political science shows the considerable degree of complexity and relative intellectual wealth achieved. Over the past 15 years, a myriad of areas, approaches and journals have arisen, ever more extensively since its conception as an autonomous discipline in the * http://dx.doi. org/10.1590/1981-38212016000100006 For replicating data, see bpsr.org.br/files/archives/Dataset_Leite. V The Stratification of Diversity: Measuring the Hierarchy of Brazilian Political Science(2016) 10 (1) e0006 -2/29 late 1960s 1 . The institutional development of the discipline run along this process, as shown by the growth of post-graduate courses and the establishment of objective criteria for evaluating academic institutions and research 2 . In this sense, the objectification of these criteria makes explicit certain stratification mechanisms that had previously remained more or less implicit, relying on subjective evaluation among peers. In other words, the growing maturity of the discipline allows for a clearer identification of the principles that, at the same time, differentiate and stratify it.However, this measurement of the discipline -its hierarchy -has not yet been systematically addressed in the literature. Analyses of the history of the discipline focus on the trajectory of themes, approaches and groups of political and social scientists in the constitution of the discipline, some favoring endogenous factors of the academic field, such as Quirino (1994), Almeida (2001), Peixoto (2001 and Marenco (2015), and others favoring exogenous factors, such as Arruda (2001) and Miceli (1990Miceli ( , 1993, as well as hybrid approaches such as Lamounier (1982), Trindade (2007, 2012) and Forjaz (1997. They answer to questions such as what are the theoretical and methodological influences of the discipline, what were the main groups that contributed to its formation, in which university environment they were formed and what political context influenced them. In all cases, the hierarchy of the discipline is more or less implicit in the transformations described and in the themes and approaches highlighted, but it is not ...

“…O próprio texto auxiliou a superar tal ausência, em uma apresentação orientada a avançar contra as herméticas fronteiras que apartam estudos supostamente pré-científicos ou interpretativos, em contraposição a pesquisas empíricas, autoidentificadas como explicativas e científicas. A síntese sugerida pelo autor prescrevia uma inflexão na marcha da influência anglófona e sugeria que "a reaproximação com as humanidades e com as ciências sociais pode ser uma bela alternativa para que continuemos a dar curso a algo indelevelmente humano: falar, de objetos" (Lessa, 2011). Em 2012, Marcelo Moreira valer-se-ia da influência anglófona para, desta feita, infirmar aqueles que importavam o empirismo líquido de reflexão teórica.…”

Omissões e seletividades da ciência política brasileira:lacunas temáticas e seus problemas sócio-epistêmicos Omissions and selectivities in Brazilian political science: thematic gaps and its social-epistemic problemsA ciência política brasileira vive um momento de intensa avaliação crítica e efervescente reflexão metacientífica. Em sua primeira seção, este artigo apresenta e explica esse contexto. Em seguida, propõe uma contribuição ao debate, cingida ao tema da seletividade da pesquisa científico-política brasileira, assim qualificada como atributo que a conduz a uma relativa omissão quanto a investigações dedicadas às práticas de ativismo, protesto e confronto. Sob esse amplo campo temático, ambiciona-se a consecução de dois objetivos, revestidos, respectivamente, de naturezas preponderantemente teórica e empírica.O primeiro, cumprido ao longo da segunda seção, atém-se à proposição de uma tipologia alegórica que logrará classificar a produção intelectual brasileira no campo da ciência política. O enfoque recai sobre os objetos estudados, seja em sentido estático (parlamento, movimentos sociais, fóruns participativos etc.), seja em acepção dinâmica (eleições, eventos de protestos, fluxos de opinião etc.). Sob a constatação de que o objeto precípuo da ciência política é a relação social de poder, pretende-se classificar a pesquisa brasileira com base nos "lugares" ou conjuntos específicos de relações para os quais os cientistas dirigem seus olhares quando querem entender essa relação, inobstante a Revista Brasileira de Ciência Política, nº19. Brasília, janeiro -abril de 2016, pp. 11-45.
