In recent decades, the theory of academic capitalism has gained increasing relevance as an approach for understanding the recent evolution of higher education systems. We analyze the reception of academic capitalism theory in Latin America. To meet this objective, the conceptual underpinnings of academic capitalism are explored as well as their criticisms in the specialized literature. Next, the Latin-American reception of this conceptual approach is examined in detail, with special attention to the ways in which this approach is used to evaluate national higher education systems. Building upon this analysis, it is argued that the Latin-American reception process shows limitations both in quantitative and qualitative terms and is frequently used to criticize the state of higher education systems rather than to understand them. The article closes with a summary and selected future lines of research.

The Way

Desde fines de la década de los ochenta y comienzos de los noventa, se produjo en América Latina una serie de cambios que permitían vislumbrar un panorama desafiante para la educación regional. En ese contexto, nos proponemos reconstruir el escenario político-educativo latinoamericano y argentino, con el fin de comprender los desafíos y los cambios que debe enfrentar la educación superior actual. Para alcanzar nuestro propósito, en las páginas siguientes analizaremos el modo en que se fue configurando una nueva agenda educativa en el contexto de las políticas globales de los años noventa. Paralelamente, haremos referencia a un caso particular: la educación argentina. Teniendo como marco referencial los cambios que se gestaron en esa época y proyectándonos más hacia nuestros días, al final del trabajo concluiremos con un apartado donde nos dedicaremos a reflexionar acerca del modo en que estos cambios influyen en la educación superior y el panorama que se vislumbra en este nivel.AbstractSince the end of ‘80s and the beginning of ‘90s, followed a series of changes in Latin America that allow to visualize a challenging future for regional education. In this context, we propose to reconstruct the context socio-political-educative of Latin American and Argentina, in order to understand the challenges and changes that higher education must confront today. To achieve our objectives in the following pages we will analyze the way it was setting up a new educational agenda in the context of global politics of the ‘90s. In parallel, we will make reference to a particular case: education in Argentina. Taking as a reference the changes that were generated at this time and projecting towards the present day, at the end of this work we will conclude with a section dedicated to reflect how these changes affect higher education and the panorama glimpsed at this level. Recibido: 05 de marzo de 2012Aceptado: 03 de septiembre de 2012

Introduction. Higher education systems at the present stage of development are facing new serious challenges. On the one hand, universities function as independent units, on the other, they are part of the regional system, they attract and share the attention of the stakeholders interested in the system (applicants, students, research and teaching staff, business structures, etc.). The purpose of the study is to assess the competitiveness of regional higher education systems through the formed system of indicators, as well as to draw conclusions about the degree of uniformity in the development of these networks. Methods. To assess the state of the higher education system in Russia, the author uses an indicative method of analysis, which makes it possible to determine the degree of compliance of the indicator values achieved by now with the criteria that meet the set requirements for the development of society. Scientific novelty of the research. The novelty of the research consists in forming a set of indicators, which makes it possible to draw conclusions about the competitiveness of regional systems and the degree of their development uniformity, as well as the number of universities in the regional system and their influence on the entire system, according to their uniform development relative to each other. Results. Following the results of diagnosing the regional higher education systems, the author identifies the regions-leaders and the regions-outsiders. The diagnostic results are compared with the data of international rankings. Conclusions. The conclusion states that the region with fewer but equally developing universities (for example, the Belgorod region or the Republic of Tatarstan) have higher indicators of competitiveness. On the contrary, regional higher education systems, represented by a large number of universities, but with unevenly developing performance indicators, are characterized as less competitive, i.e. the performance indicators of the leading university are leveled within the system as a whole.

The Government

The aim of the higher education reform process both in Hungary and in the European countries is establishing a competitive, qualitative higher education. The Education Minister of our country regularly emphasizes in his statements that the quantitative changes of he past 15 years are completed, from now the emphasis must be on quality :„a degree in itself is not sufficient, the actual knowledge behind is necessary”. To achievethis aim, the government carried out several changes in the field of higher education in the past years, one of them was implementing a budget support system in accordance with the performance of the institutions. The objective of the three year long support agreement between the state and the higher education institutions is considering quality parameters and outputs beside and instead of normative (input-based) support. The other occurent and debated issue is the introduction of tuition fees. Although this plan was rejected by the national referendum on 9th March, 2008, some weeks ago an amendment bill was passed, which would mean bringing tuition fees back in the system.In my paper I am examining whether the efficiency of higher education systems are influenced by the extent of the contribution of the state and the private sector to their expenses. Furthermore I’d like to find the answer to the following question: Does it matter what principles and mechanisms play role by the distribution of the state support between the institutions of higher education.

Theoretical Reflection

El presente artículo pretende llevar a cabo una revisión de un conjunto de textos escritos en un momento muy particular y fugaz en el marxismo latinoamericano. Nos referimos a un cúmulo de producciones que se llevaron a cabo en la bisagra de los años setenta y ochenta. Hablamos de un contexto de derrota para los sectores subalternos, luego del proceso de avance popular ocurrido en la región durante los años sesenta y la primera mitad de los setenta. En ese cruce de décadas, tras la irradiación de los estudios sobre la dependencia en América Latina, las preocupaciones de tales enfoques se intersectan con una indagación en torno del fenómeno estatal. En estas páginas realizaremos una revisión de dicho momento de reflexión teórica, a partir del análisis de algunos trabajos de cuatro figuras del marxismo latinoamericano: Norbert Lechner (alemán, naturalizado chileno), Agustín Cueva (ecuatoriano), René Zavaleta (boliviano) y Marcos Kaplan (argentino).   Palabras Clave: Estado, dependencia, marxismo, América Latina.   THEORIES OF DEPENDENCE AND THE QUESTION OF THE STATE IN LATIN AMERICA: CRITICAL (AND AUTOCRITICAL) REFLECTIONS IN THE HINGE OF THE SEVENTIES AND EIGHTIES YEARS    This article aims to carry out a review of a set of texts written at a very particular and fleeting moment in Latin American Marxism. We refer to the number of productions that took place at the frontier of the seventies and eighties. We are meaning a context of defeat for the subaltern sectors, after the process of popular advance in the region occurred during the sixties and the first half of the seventies. In this hinge of decades, after the irradiation of studies on dependency in Latin America, the concerns of such approaches intersect with an inquiry about the state phenomenon and its Latin American specificity. In these pages, we will review this moment of theoretical reflection, by the analysis of some work of four figures of Latin American Marxism: Norbert Lechner (German, Chilean naturalized), Agustín Cueva (Ecuadorian), René Zavaleta (Bolivian) and Marcos Kaplan (Argentinian).   Keywords: State, dependency, Marxism, Latin America.
