SANTOS, Margareth Guerra dos and LEITE, Denise. Regional networks for accreditation and quality evaluation of higher education. Ensaio: aval. pol. públ. educ. [online]. 2019, vol.27, n.102, pp.108-128. ISSN 1809-4465. https://doi.org/10.1590/S0104-40362018002701357.
The creation of spaces for cooperation, integration and collaboration in Higher Education has become a fact of global reach. At the beginning of the 21st century, the areas of international networks focused on accreditation and quality evaluation of Higher Education stand out. This article takes this theme in its regional perspective, introducing ENLACES, the Latin American and Caribbean Meeting on Higher Education and the RIACES, the Ibero-American Network for the Quality of Higher Education and the RANA, the Network of National Accreditation Agencies of Mercosur. The article discusses these movements of networks and their logics in the search for clarification on the relationships they establish and the influences they produce on public policies of higher education.
