Perfiles educativos [online]. 2020, vol.42, n.170, pp.135-152.  Epub 04-Fev-2021. ISSN 0185-2698.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iisue.24486167e.2020.170.59548.

The present article identifies the institutional conditions that have favored or hindered the repatriation of researchers to Mexico, based on the study of the behavior of the repatriation program and the policy in which it is inscribed as well as the opinions and considerations of the repatriated population. Regarding our methodology, we relied on: a) the list of beneficiaries of the repatriation program, 1991-2017; b) the database of CONACyT scholarships for postgraduate studies abroad, 1997-2016; c) the questionnaires applied by CONACyT to 45 repatriates and 43 hosts. Our main findings reveal that the repatriation policy has been on the decline after a boom during its first decade; and that higher education tends towards privatization. Finally, the document exposes which are the macro, meso and micro mechanisms that enable the repatriation of researchers to Mexico.
