Descripción
Sumario:The analysis of the evolution of academic reforms in recent decades allows us to observe that, in the name of innovation, this was conceived from the outset as a political oeuvre aimed at turning the university into a provider, within the free trade agreements, of 'educational services'. These become 'products' susceptible to commercialization, and thus, 'academic capitalism' is established, a concept with which it is intended to account for the processes of commercialization of teaching and academic research. The reforms are chained one after the other over time, with two objectives: to reduce the power of the State, and to put an end to the 'Educating State' born in the Enlightenment as a republican ideal. Ideal under which education appears as a central element for forming an emancipated citizenship in the face of a globalized capitalism without citizenship.
