Los estudiantes extranjeros eligen carreras de grado en Argentina, fundamentalmente en universidades nacionales, dentro del proceso de globalización. Según estadísticas, la cantidad de ellos asciende alrededor de veinticuatro mil. Si bien existe un Programa de Promoción de la Universidad Argentina creado en el año 2006 para atraer estudiantes extranjeros, son pocos los análisis exploratorios realizados sobre las actividades llevadas a cabo en las distintas universidades del país, así como sobre sus resultados.
La transformación del sistema argentino de educación superior, iniciada en la década de los noventa, se sustentó en un cambio relevante de las relaciones institucionales entre las universidades y el Estado. En la búsqueda de la consecución de los fines de la nueva agenda política del gobierno, cobraron gran importancia los mecanismos de asignación de recursos públicos, como instrumentos fundamentales para propiciar e inducir comportamientos institucionales hacia las metas establecidas.

This volume presents an interdisciplinary analysis of the practice of disappearances in Mexico, from the period of the so-called ‘dirty war’ to the current crisis of disappearances associated with the country’s ‘war on drugs’, during which more than 80,000 people have disappeared. The volume brings together contributions by distinguished scholars from Mexico, Argentina and Europe, who focus their chapters on four broad axes of enquiry.

It is widely believed that autocratic regimes cannot limit their power through institutions of their own making. This book presents a surprising challenge to this view. It demonstrates that the Chilean armed forces were constrained by institutions of their own design. Based on extensive documentation of military decision-making, much of it long classified and unavailable, this book reconstructs the politics of institutions within the recent Chilean dictatorship (1973–1990). It examines the structuring of institutions at the apex of the military junta, the relationship of military rule with the prior constitution, the intra-military conflicts that led to the promulgation of the 1980 constitution, the logic of institutions contained in the new constitution, and how the constitution constrained the military junta after it went into force in 1981. This provocative account reveals the standard account of the dictatorship as a personalist regime with power concentrated in Pinochet to be grossly inaccurate.
