The Historical Turn Of Political Science: A Socio-Historic Analysis About The Genesis Of APRA’S Popular Parties

Abstract

This article reflects on the consequences of historical change and interdisciplinary research in political
science. Taking as point of reference the socio-historical approach to political parties, is a plea for
interdisciplinary research of party genesis. Given the hard work that represents the objectification of
historical turn of political science to interpret political processes, insists on the need to develop both
comparative and located research about the origins of the political formations, illustrating this
proposition through examples as the Partido Aprista Peruano and Acción Democrática of Venezuela.
Moreover, this proposal examines the challenges of "historicization" of this discipline in an effort to
turn to the past to overcome the theoretical and methodological obstacles related to the study of the
processes of party genesis.
