Abstract

The pendular dynamic of the regionalization of the university in Argentina. The article analyzes the dynamics of construction of the Public Higher Education System in Argentina considering the dimension of regionalization and exploring the regional tensions around its construction. It displays low levels of institutional differentiation and institutional
competence, but indicates the complexities of regional differentiation, the politically unresolved character of such processes, and how its dynamics has been associated with ideological political processes. The regionalization of higher education shows multiple
