Abstract
Higher education is undergoing a complex process of transformation at the international level. This transformation is based especially in the fields of policies and governance of higher education institutions. Since the 1980s in Latin America that trend has been growing, and higher education is undergoing a strong modification in its processes and structures. The first part of this essay offers a conceptual framework about the policies and governance of higher education in a comparative perspective. The second part examines the changing trends in Latin America and shows the cases of six higher education systems. The last part addresses perspectives and future trends.
