Abstract

Political Science until today, did not manage to specify its own methodology but, it has adapted to a model of methodology of the social sciences, then it failed to establish its own identity as a science, since the world of research today was reduced to simple research techniques and statistical procedures and as Sartori would say "we have a depressing science and therefore lacks a logical method". Nowadays, universities reached the absurdity of accepting a research project at different educational levels such as undergraduate and graduate only when they are based on research techniques and statistical procedures and therefore only quantitative analysis of the object of study (reality) can be carried out, at the same time there are arguments that what cannot be quantified is irrelevant, and numerology is worshipped and that the governments of turn are full of this type of professionals, according to Cecilia Rocha (2013), political science is Americanized, for the following reasons, the most relevant issues that are discussed within political science, are linked to political parties and elections, in the same way the number of theorists that generate literature on the aforementioned topics and that is most frequently chosen in The neoinstitutionalist approach to rational choice, but more importantly on the prevalence of quantitative over qualitative studies in most journals.
