Resumen:

Among the most significant drivers of the reconfiguration of worldwide higher education systems are a variety of processes that have been categorized under the broad rubric of privatization. Within the realm of higher education, privatization has neither an unequivocal definition nor absolute and delimited characteristics. Its description and analysis entail multiple dynamics, with considerable complexity, particularly when placed within temporal and spatial frameworks (Dolenec, 2006; Geiger, 1988; Slaughter & Leslie, 1997). Mexico serves as a useful case for the study of privatization in higher education. This chapter looks at Mexico?s transformation from an eminently public system to an increasingly private one. In this chapter, we seek to understand a number of diverse strategies that have driven privatization of higher education in Mexico and to place those strategies in a global context. © 2012 Taylor & Francis.
