Abstract

The globalization of capital implied worldwide consequences, evidencing in the new international division of labor a global imperialist policy in which it is effective through its accumulation by spoliation. Educational policy does not limit its ideological basis only to the local precepts of its National State. From the conjuncture of globalization, the elements that constitute the social patrimony of a nation need to be conferred not only on a local micro-analysis, but a macro analysis is urgent, in which it contemplates the global space-time, thus comprising the interdependent relationship involving central and peripheral countries. Higher education is highlighted in World Bank documents from the 1990s onwards by providing the peripheral National States with four documents outlining strategies to align peripheral higher education policy with the attempts of imperialist states. The understanding of higher education in peripheral countries as a highly profitable niche conceived policies that were and are in line with the rationality of financially-oriented capital. In the Brazilian particularity, this process contributed to the privatization expansion of Higher Education and its consequent commodification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
