PERROTTA, Daniela. MERCOSUR, Regulatory Regionalism and Higher Education Governance . Relac. int. [online]. 2016, vol.25, n.51, pp.21-42. ISSN 2314-2766.

This paper analyses how MERCOSUR sets governance projects for higher education by-passing the state's territorial policy. Thus, national agencies are developing a dense network of regulations affecting university institutions and stakeholders as a result of the development of transnational functions. To understand these phenomena, the approach of regulatory regionalism is used, alongside with some reflections of policy diffusion processes. We proceed with an in-depth study of MERCOSUR's regional policies in the field of higher education. The time range is from the creation of MERCOSUR Educational Sector (aka SEM) in 1991 up to the present (2015). We argue that it is possible to identify three projects for higher education governance.
