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.
