O estudo dos sistemas de ensino superior em distintos paises da America indica, de inicio, a inexistencia de uniformidades na sua evolucao e nas politicas adotadas em periodos diversos. Mas e possivel detectar caracteristicas comuns, cujo estudo comparado pode subsidiar as alternativas para as propostas de reforma. Analisam-se aqui as politicas recentes para o ensino superior no subcontinente a partir dos processos no Brasil, Chile, Argentina, Mexico e Colombia. Procura-se recuperar a tradicao de cada um dos sistemas para entao analisar os problemas atuais, a emergencia e os entraves da modernizacao. A autora conclui que as reformas sao inevitaveis e que ha um conjunto semelhante de problemas e alternativas nestes paises. (Novos Estud CEBRAP/DÜI)

In the 80s, Latin America experienced the worst economic crisis since the world-wide depression of the 30s. A common link running through this crisis was external indebtedness with the international private banking system. Since then, the region has entered a new phase of abundance of capital inflows, bearing some resemblance to the preceding episode of the 70s.In this paper a review is made of the origins of indebtedness, of the emergence of the crisis in the early 80s, and of the management by creditors and debtors during that decade. Some lessons are derived about the working of international financial markets and policy implications. (Rev Econ Polit/DÜI)
