| Sumario: | The article aims to address certain transformations that are taking place in contemporary higher education on an international scale, driven by the dynamics of the globalization process that are changing its modus operandi and the intellectual conception of universities. At first, it highlights that ‒in addition to the presence of national higher education systems that have developed in the course of their respective historical contexts‒ a new locus of their activity has gradually formed in the last decades, that is, a transnational space of higher education. Secondly, the article deals with the elaboration of certain ideas and concepts formulated by international organizations and also by academics who work simultaneously at the local, national and transnational levels that permeate higher education today. In this sense, the work is inspired by a new perspective on the sociology of intellectuals that focuses his attention on experts in certain areas of knowledge , located in different social spaces (universities, international organizations, research centers, think tanks, etc.). This work is close to the concept of the ideal type postulated by Max Weber, as it seeks to form a framework for thinking about contemporary higher education on an international scale. |
