SOLANAS, Facundo. Cooperative exchange vs. competitive commodification: policies of academic mobility in MERCOSUR and the European Union. Rev. iberoam. educ. super [online]. 2014, vol.5, n.12, pp.3-22. ISSN 2007-2872.

Originally, processes of internationalization for higher education were closely tied to academic and scientific cooperation between universities, although to a large degree the globalization boom and the sector's commodification processes transformed this exchange into competitiveness and competition. Both the Bologna process and a good part of the European Union's actions conceived for other continents are framed within the strategy for the internal services market of the European Council of Lisbon in 2000, seeking a more competitive Europe, where the main interest was geared towards broadening their university "supply" for students in those countries. In this work we analyze the repercussions of the shift in paradigms of academic mobility policies in MERCOSUR and the EU, based on documentary sources and existing literature on the subject.

Palabras llave : higher education; academic mobility; MERCOSUR; MERCOSUL; European Union.
