GIL ANTON, Manuel. The monetization of the academic profession in Mexico: 25 years of conditioned monetary transfers. Espac. blanco, Ser. indagaciones [online]. 2013, vol.23, n.1. ISSN 1515-9485.

With the introduction of the National System of Researchers (SNI) in 1985, began a new era regarding relations between the State and universities, which differed from the period of 'massification' of higher education in the country (1960-1980) and its crisis. The best indicator for this shift is the modification of the terms for hiring, promotion, tenure, compensation and differentiation in the national academic profession. This paper gives an account of the salient features of the preceding period, its crisis, and the modalities of reorganization of the "profession of professions" up to the present. It shows the impacts of the changes in the context and in public policy regarding the academic profession, under a working hypothesis: the predominance of conditional cash transfers as a guide in the reconfiguration of the academic profession, its current characteristics and the achievements and limits of the strategy followed.

Keywords : Mexico; higher ducation; state-university; academic profession; conditioned monetary transfers.
