Description
Summary:This article describes and analyzes the performance of the main agents of Argentine university policy during the period 1983-1990, focusing on the role of the rectors and the National Interuniversity Council (CIN). It addresses the problem of university coordination in the period following the last military dictatorship (1976-1983), trying to understand its general operating conditions, the role of a nascent “rector power” and the changes that led to the consolidation of a form of university autonomy that we have called “fragmented”. Based on the analysis of unpublished sources, we reconstruct the work agenda of the rectors and the CIN in a scarcely studied period of the history of Argentine university coordination.
