Considering ‘New Formulas’ for a ‘Renewed University’: The Mexican Experience

In this paper, I analyse the impact of recent university transformations with specific consideration to the Mexican experience, and examine the ‘new formulas’ of the renewed university. I focus on some of the new regulation technologies in operation as part of modernization processes, highlighting their long-term effects on the recreation of the social roles and profiles of the institutions, and on the reinvention of the identities of their subjects. At the end, I further reflect on some visible consequences of these processes.
