Abstract

This article presents the evolution of the HPSCG since its foundation. It examines some political and academic clues that shed light on its relative success. Accordingly, the main reason why conceptual history is gradually becoming indispensable to certain study areas and disciplines has to do with a profound change in practical politics: namely, the transition from a «simple» politics (of answers to certain previously given problems) to a new, more complex politics that revises and questions the own agenda of debatable issues.
