In the last decade the discipline continued its consolidation as a new profession, its construction of an academic community and its ability to produce accumulative knowledge. Some highlights of these 10 years were the continued expansion of programs (at undergraduate and graduate levels), the creation of the Colombian Association of Political Science, the completion of three congresses and two disciplinary meetings, the expansion in the number of graduates and the acceptance of two Colombian journals to both ISI and Scopus. However, this expansion has also created challenges for the maintenance of the quality of teaching and expansion of new labor spaces. It is also important to further strengthen the methodological skills, given that the knowledge generated is eminently descriptive, qualitative, and not compared.
