ROTHEN, José Carlos. Higher education and the new public management: comparisons between the Brazilian and French cases. Rev. Elet. Educ. [online]. 2019, vol.13, n.3, pp.970-995.  Epub Sep 01, 2020. ISSN 1982-7199.  https://doi.org/10.14244/198271993549.

With the aim of understanding the insertion of higher education into a new context of organization of society and State, which is managed according to the New Public Management, this work presents a comparative historical study of the organization of French and Brazilian higher education. It is concluded that the French adherence to the New Public Management is based on the knowledge economy, while the Brazilian one is based on State size reduction along the lines of the Washington Consensus; in addition, higher education institutions in both countries are organized to participate in competitions: in France, the international competition promoted by rankings, and in Brazil, the market competition.

Keywords : Brazilian higher education; French higher education; New public management; University.
