NOLETO, SYLVANA DE OLIVEIRA BERNARDI and OLIVEIRA, JOÃO FERREIRA DE. STATE, HIGHER EDUCATION AND UNIVERSITY IN BRAZIL: RECONFIGURATION PROCESSES IN TIMES OF CAPITAL RESTRUCTURING. Revista Brasileira de Política e Administração da Educação [online]. 2019, vol.35, n.2, pp.427-446. Epub Dec 10, 2019. ISSN 2447-4193. https://doi.org/10.21573/vol35n22019.95411.
This article examines, through bibliographical and documentary analysis, some of the processes of reconfiguration of higher education and public universities, in particular, based on the crisis and determinations of the globalization of capital. It seeks to analyze the changes in the role of the Brazilian State, the transformations underway in capitalism and the adoption of the principles of diversification and institutional differential that marked the reorientation of State action from the second half of the 1990s in terms of structuring, supply, and expansion of higher education. It also seeks to discuss the course of the university, especially public, given the process of transforming its identity and modus operandi in the management, production of academic work, educational process and social commitments that have always been present in its constitution as a social institution.
Keywords : Higher Education; University; Role of the State.
