| Summary: | This book examines the increasing privatization of higher education in Latin America and the Caribbean, highlighting its complexities and impacts. The authors explore how economic and market forces have gained influence over educational systems, driven by global trade agreements and organizations like the World Trade Organization. The book focuses on the predominance of private universities in the region, with two-thirds of universities being private and more graduates emerging from these institutions than public ones. It analyzes the consequences of such privatization on educational quality and accessibility and discusses the role of international organizations in shaping educational policies. The intended audience includes educators, policymakers, and researchers interested in education reform and policy analysis.
