I. DESCRIPCION
Las politicas educativas son un area sectorial de gran dinamismo en las ultimas decadas. La fuerte relacion
entre desarrollo economico y democratico, movilidad social y educacion las han transformado en un
campo de disputa politica, confrontacion discursiva, y reconfiguracion entre lo publico y lo privado. El
curso se propone `sociologizar' la comprension de las politicas educativas (en su origen,
institucionalizacion, actores, intereses, produccion, (co)implementacion, impacto), para comprender su
relacion con los cambios sociales y culturales actuales.
II. OBJETIVOS
