El modelo hegemónico de universidad en el discurso de tres organismos internacionales

The aim of this study is to understand the features that shape the hegemonic university model promoted in the discourse of three International Organisations: the World Bank, the OECD, and UNESCO. The analysis is framed within a critical approach that brings together the theory of academic capitalism, Foucault’s notions of biopolitics and governmentality, and Gramsci’s concept of hegemony. Methodologically, a qualitative documentary analysis was conducted on 893 official documents, using a two-level strategy: thematic and content-based. The analysis was structured around three core dimensions: (1) the development of the university, (2) the relationship between the state, the university and society, and (3) the functions of the university. The findings reveal that these organisations promote a university model aligned with the logics of academic capitalism. This model operates as a regime of truth that subordinates universities to global market dynamics, reproduces structural inequalities, and restricts the emancipatory potential of higher education.
