Ciencia y Política en tiempos del COVID-19
Keywords:
COVID-19, Political Science, Data ScienceAbstract
Beginning in December 2019 and still ongoing, the world's science, culture, and politics began to produce previously unimaginable daily quantities of data to understand the nature of COVID-19 and its effect on our lives. These collective efforts represent a change in the quality and quantity of what it is being produced and published. This allows us to observe the COVID-19 shock based on a variety of clinical, social, and economic data published with unthinkable speed. The objective of this article is to understand the relationship between information and political science in the current context, describe the agendas generated by the COVID-19 crisis, and discuss how professional demands promise to accelerate new forms of collaboration in political science, the collaboration with other disciplines, as well as the inequalities that this change generates.
