Registro datado de acontecimientos y procesos como archivo del desarrollo de la sociología en Paraguay. Parte II: de los 80' a la contemporaneidad.

The general objective is to continue completing the puzzle that makes up some of the new quadrants in the field of local sociology that follow what is exposed in Part I: from 1900 to the 1980s. As materials, events dated by a chronology and documented references are considered; and how changes in its institutional framework, activities, editorial spaces, professional associations, cooperation, local and international training, access and financing for research were generated in the historical dynamics. The method is qualitative, the techniques combine interviews, documentary checklists, analysis of secondary data and content, seeking through triangulation the qualitative saturation that enables the work of registration and archiving. Among the main results and conclusions, it is evident that in the period addressed, at the end of the 1980s until the time already in a context of democratic opening, new private centers were founded. Likewise, with the new millennium, and from the public university space, the first postgraduate courses will be developed with specific degrees or with an emphasis on sociology. Adding the third experience of a new sociology degree in the country, but this one, from a public university (FACSO); along with his first offer of a graduate program in the social sciences, and publication of his own notebooks. Likewise, another public institution offers new alternatives for training human resources abroad (BECAL). Simultaneously generating other local, inter-institutional, regional (AUGM), international (CLACSO) cooperation networks. As well as new scientific societies, professional associations (SPS; APS) and participation in research activity in a sustained, gradual and growing manner, with local financing with programs such as PROCIENCIA and PRONII of CONACYT.
