Resumen

El articulo analiza las principales caracteristicas de los
programas de maestria en ciencias sociales en la Argentina y
evalua en que medida estos se constituyen en una estrategia
innovadora frente a un entorno institucional que opone
fuertes restricciones al cambio. La investigacion se basa en
un estudio de diecinueve casos de maestrias de ciencias
sociales en universidades publicas y privadas, contando
ademas con informacion cuantitativa de aquellas que
solicitaron acreditacion en la CONEAU (Comision Nacional de
Evaluacion y Acreditacion Universitaria) en 1998. Los
programas son analizados en terminos de sus objetivos,
insumos, procesos y productos. El trabajo concluye examinando
las restricciones que limitan un desarrollo adecuado de los
posgrados academicos y profesionales en el campo de la
ciencias sociales.


Abstract

The article describes the main features of Argentine Social
Science Masters programs and evaluates the extent to which
they are developing innovative strategies in the present
conservative institutional context. The research was based on
nineteen  case studies of Masters in public and private
universities. Quantitative data were also gathered from those
Masters that were accredited by the National Commission of
Evaluation and Accreditation (CONEAU). All these data are
analyzed in terms of the program's objectives, inputs,
processing and output indicators. The paper concludes with an
analysis of the restrictions that limit the suitable
development of academic and professional postgraduate courses
in Argentina.
