OLIVEIRA, João Ferreira de. The production of knowledge in Brazil in times of economic globalization: tendencies, tensions and perspectives. Rev. Elet. Educ. [online]. 2019, vol.13, n.3, pp.853-872.  Epub 01-Set-2020. ISSN 1982-7199.  https://doi.org/10.14244/198271993531.

The text analyzes the production of knowledge in Brazil, considering the determinants of the process of economic globalization. It explains the current trends and tensions present in the international scenario and in the policies and actions in the field of Higher Education, with emphasis on the production of knowledge, considering the changes that have occurred in recent years. It seeks to reflect on the perspectives of training, research and science in Brazil in a scenario of economic crisis and neoliberal reforms that reduce public spending and the role of the State in Brazil, but which favor the action of large economic groups in terms of the expansion of Higher Education. The text is structured in three parts, which seek to highlight: a) the understanding of the process of structuring postgraduate and knowledge production in Brazil, considering historical elements and current indicators; b) the examination of the production of knowledge in the light of the determinants of the process of capital restructuring; c) the current government policy, which has been redefining research, postgraduate and knowledge production and which is based on a (dis) regulation that favors expansion in the private sector, especially in the postgraduate field. Thus, the study highlights the economic determinants that affect the production of knowledge in a globalized economy; recent changes in the legal basis, which benefit the expansion of the private sector; the development crisis experienced in public universities and the processes of subordination of work and academic management, as well as the loss of autonomy in the production of knowledge.
