摘要
Fifty years ago, Canadian political science (CPS) debated whether there was an Americanization problem in the discipline. Today, the idea does not have the same force. This article revisits the debate by focusing on one of the main points of concerns: the doctoral training of CPS faculty. The article presents an original dataset of tenure and tenure-track faculty at CPS departments. It then provides analysis of where these tenure and tenure-track faculty received their doctorates, by sub-field and rank, paying particular attention to the country of doctoral training. Unlike fifty years ago, Canadian-trained scholars form a much larger share of the professoriate. There is no evidence of a trend towards more American-trained scholars among recent hires of assistant professors. However, the results also suggest a continuing status hierarchy between the two countries. It concludes by arguing that CPS needs to be more reflective about its position within this status hierarchy. Resume Il y a cinquante ans, la science politique canadienne (SPC) debattait de l'existence d'un << probleme d'americanisation >> dans la discipline. Aujourd'hui, l'idee n'a plus la meme intensite. Cet article reactualise ce debat en se concentrant sur un des principaux points qui soulevent des inquietudes : la formation doctorale des professeurs de SPC. L'article presente un ensemble de donnees original sur les professeurs permanents et sur ceux qui occupent des postes menant a la permanence au sein des departements de SPC. Il analyse ensuite le lieu oU ces professeurs permanents ou adjoints ont obtenu leur doctorat, par sous-domaine et grade, en accordant une attention particuliere au pays de formation doctorale. la difference d'il y a cinquante ans, les chercheurs formes au Canada representent une plus grande partie du corps professoral. Rien n'indique qu'il y ait une tendance vers un plus grand nombre de chercheurs formes aux Etats-Unis parmi les embauches recentes de professeurs adjoints. Toutefois, les resultats suggerent egalement la continuite d'une hierarchie sociale entre les deux pays. Il conclut en soutenant que la SPC a besoin de mieux comprendre sa position a l'interieur de cette hierarchie.
