The present article has the objective of offering an analytical synthesis of academic productions on the current panorama of Brazilian higher education. The study has a descriptive exploratory purpose, using bibliographic research. The empirical material consisted of 130 articles published between 2008 and 2018 in journals captured in the Portal of CAPES Journals that present a panorama of the contemporary Brazilian higher education, dealing with trends, policies, models and management configurations. It resulted in two types of analysis: bibliometric and reflective/interpretive. The outcomes indicate a strong concentration of publications between 2015 and 2017, with a focus on private institutions. The studies were classified into nine major categories: educational policies, expansion, internationalization, diversification, evaluation of higher education, university management, commercialization, democratization and inclusion. As a trend, it was noticed that the scenario of higher education in Brazil is strongly influenced by global movements of capitalism with neoliberal bias, with the encouragement of multilateral organizations that promote a commercialized, diversified, private and elitist expansion
