“…By virtue of the above, several Latin American countries can be considered to have "fragile institutions", among other factors due to their endowment with game rules that have been subjected to the interests of private logics and political factions (Medellín Torres, 2004Torres, , 2006.…”

The main theories of the thriving field of study of public policies have been formulated at institutions of developed countries, mostly by the American academy, based on the particular conditions of policy-making processes of their own country. However, its heuristic premises are considered, initially, as universal and are used extensively in teaching and academic studies around the world. This paper examines the complexities derived from the application of such predominant theoretical approaches to the study and teaching of public policies that are implemented in Latin American countries. Based on an extensive use of specialized literature, 10 public policy variables are identified and organized into two dimensions, one institutional and the other procedural. It is argued that the values of these variables in the countries of this region differ significantly from those observed in the United States, which reveals the explanatory shortcomings of those approaches to account for the particular modalities of public policymaking in these countries.

“…La adopción de este enfoque no tomó en cuenta las particularidades de la realidad mexicana y al operacionalizar los conceptos y aplicarse al caso mexicano se hizo de manera inapropiada, como sostienenCansino (2000) y LópezLeyva (2000). En este artículo se mencionan algunos procesos nacionales que no se pudieron analizar correctamente desde el paradigma democrático, pero para profundizar en ellos se recomienda revisar Trejo y Ley (2021),Torrico (2020) y Vazquez Almanza (2022.…”

En este artículo se analiza la transformación de la sociología y la ciencia política en México ligadas a la adopción del paradigma democrático. Para ello, se refieren dos conjuntos de fenómenos. El primero abarca: 1) el contexto del cambio internacional de las ciencias sociales, y 2) los cambios de la politología norteamericana. El segundo explora: 1) la historia de la sociología y la ciencia políticas mexicanas y su nexo con el Estado; 2) la frontera entre espacio público y academia, y 3) la operacionalización del paradigma democrático. Los resultados muestran la existencia de un desequilibrio normativo y conceptual que persiste en las interpretaciones de la realidad política. Desde su naturaleza conceptual, este artículo ofrece una útil reflexión metateórica que evidencia la necesidad de debatir las paradojas de la teoría democrática.
