Políticas Públicas, MERCOSUR y Educación Superior: la Mercosurización del Estado acreditador

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to account for the construction and continuity of a regional public policy within MERCOSUR and the associated countries, in spite of the redefinitions, the different questions and crises this process of integration is going through. An analysis is conducted of the consolidation and expansion of the mercosurization dynamics of the accrediting State, revisiting previous works that account for the génesis of the first instruments of regional policies, such as the Accreditation Experimental Mechanism (MEXA), at the MERCOSUR level, which eventually evolved into permanent devices (ARCUSUR), to achieve expansión in several member states.
