Abstract
Description
La estadística representa una herramienta de gobernanza esencial en la administración pública contemporánea. Su producción en Ecuador depende del campo de expertos que emergieron y se legitimaron en el periodo 1927-2020. ¿Qué rol jugaron fuerzas locales y externas en este proceso? ¿Qué factores sociopolíticos permitieron la construcción de la disciplina estadística en el país? A través de la revisión de archivos históricos y de entrevistas en profundidad, en este artículo se expone que el campo de quienes se dedican a la estadística pública en el país ha resultado de la superposición de cuatro fuerzas centrípetas externas y tres fuerzas centrífugas locales.
Statistics are an essential tool for governance in contemporary public administration. The advent of this discipline in Ecuador hinged on the role played by a field of experts that appeared and achieved legitimacy in the period running between 1927 and 2020. The present text asks about the role of internal and external factors as well as that of sociopolitical causes, in bringing about the development of statistics as a discipline in this country. The examination of historical archives and the completion of in-depth interviews discloses the fact that the advancement of the field of public statistics in Ecuador is the outcome of the joint impact of four centripetal external forces and three centrifugal local factors.
