Antropologia Politikoa XX. mendeko 40ko hamarkadan sortu zen Gizarte Antropologiaren azpi-diziplina gisa. 80 urte pasa ostean oihartzun nabarmena lortu du eta oso emankortzat jo dezakegu arlo teorikoan, baita ikerketa etnografikoen eremuan ere. Lan honek helburu nagusi bi ditu. Alde batetik, azpidiziplina honen deskribapen sakona egitea, haren ezaugarri nagusiak, gai esanguratsuenak eta ekarpen garrantzitsuenak azpimarratuz. Beste alde batetik, ikuspegi kronologiko batetik abiatuta, sortu zenez geroztik gaur egunera arte, haren korronte teoriko ezagunenak mahai gainean jartzea: aitzindariak, sortzaileak (estrukturalfuntzionalismoa), lehenengo kritikoak (ikuspegi prozesuala) eta korronte garaikideak. Bukatzeko, hainbat ondorio azpimarratzen dira etorkizunari begira.

[Abstract]

Political Anthropology emerged as a sub-discipline within Social Anthropology in the 1940s. Three quarters of a century later, it has become a very fruitful theoretical and research field. This work has two principal goals. Firstly, a precise characterization of the discipline is developed, highlighting its main features, most relevant issues and most outstanding contributions. Secondly, chronologically, the most important theoretical currents are described from their origins to the present: evolutionists, structural-functionalists, processors, contemporary critical trends, etc. The text ends with a series of challenges that the discipline has ahead.

Key words: Political Anthropology -- Theoretical legacy -- Main issues -- Diversity of currents
