Keywords:

This article aims to understand the main political technologies of exogenous privatization of higher education, designed in conjunction with the guidelines of international funding bodies, which have contributed to the opening and rise of the academic capitalist regime in countries such as Brazil and Argentina. The methodology used was historical-critical. The investigation was qualitative, bibliographic and documentary. To this end, the first chapter deals with the structural transformations of capitalism that supported the new governance model and, concomitantly, the exogenous privatization process of higher education at a global level. Subsequently, an analysis of higher education reforms, materialized in Brazil and Argentina, especially since the 1980s, is presented,
which boosted the fusion between public and private in hybrid forms, institutional differentiation, rationalization/optimization public investments and the capture of new sources of funding by public universities. Finally, we seek to understand how educational policies, implemented in the context of neoliberal reforms, have contributed to the formation of a capitalist knowledge regime, based on the production of raw material knowledge, directly profitable and in symbiosis with the needs of the business market. The results showed that the political technologies of exogenous privatization of higher education have stimulated the expansion of the private/mercantile sector and the redirection of public investments in favor of research to the interests of the industrial/business sector, to the detriment of "open science" (non-mercantile ), favoring the advancement and materialization of academic capitalism in countries such as Brazil and Argentina.
