Summary:

The dissemination of ideas such as those that Adrián Acosta Silva rehearses in this book of extensive sociological and historical review, is a fundamental part of the work of the Union of Universities of Latin America and the Caribbean (UDUAL), where academic exchange and the promotion of debate are substantive pieces, and the publications of researchers from affiliated universities are an ideal medium for this, since since its foundation, as the largest higher education network in Latin America and the Caribbean, UDUAL defends, strengthens and promotes the exercise of university autonomy and promotes academic activity promoting the analysis of the different realities and problems of higher education. Essaying around the founding of the oldest universities in America, Santo Domingo, San Marcos and the University of Mexico, the author exposes the implications that these new spaces of social mobility, logic of power and representation brought to the new western profile. The general argument of this book maintains that, in the Latin American case, the university institutional power means the autonomous power of the university, and that said "autonomous power" is the expression of the relations of tension and conflict that preserve the political legitimacy and the social representation of universities in different national and local contexts.The university institutional power means the autonomous power of the university, and that said "autonomous power" is the expression of the relations of tension and conflict that preserve the political legitimacy and social representation of the universities in different national and local contexts.The university institutional power means the autonomous power of the university, and that said "autonomous power" is the expression of the relations of tension and conflict that preserve the political legitimacy and social representation of the universities in different national and local contexts. --Source other than Library of Congress.
