Notes

1. Another recent review essay examines some of the volumes reviewed here and dwells on the relationship between political and academic activities at Latin American universities. See Simon Schwartzman, “Politics and Academia in Latin American Universities,” journal of Inter-American Studies and World Affairs 25, no. 3 (Aug. 1983):416–23.

2. Some relevant publications by the Corporación de Promoción Universitaria are: Hacia una conceptualización del fenómeno de los movimientos universitarios en América Latina, edited by Patricio Dooner (1974); Ernesto Schiefelbein and Noel McGinn, El sistema escolar y el problema del ingreso a la universidad (1975); Cooperación internacional y desarrollo, edited by Iván Lavados (1978); El rol de la ciencia en el desarrollo, edited by Ataliva Amengual and Jaime Lavados (1978); and Universidad contemporánea: antecedentes y experiencias internacionales, edited by Iván Lavados (1980).

3. For budget data, see Rafael Marion-Landais, INTEC: primera década (1972-1982), Documentos 7 (Santo Domingo: Instituto Tecnológico de Santo Domingo, 1982).

4. I have discussed Millas's views vis-á-vis others in relation to the aims of Chilean higher education in “Philosophy and University Reform at the University of Chile: 1842–1973,” LARR 19, no. 1 (1984):57–86.

5. See his “University Autonomy in Mexico: Implications for Regime Authoritarianism,” LARR 14, no. 3 (1976): 129–52.

6. In addition to some of the volumes reviewed here, the following publications concentrate on these issues: Centro de Documentación Legislativa Universitaria, Planeación y regulación en la educación superior (Mexico: Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, 1981), which focuses on higher education planning and coordination in Mexico. Daniel Levy has published a major exploratory essay on the distinction between private and public universities, “Universidad privada y universidad pública: definiciones, metodologías y estudios de casos,” in Universidad contemporánea, edited by Iván Lavados, pp. 115–52. On the question of regional development and scientific research, two books deserve mention: OEA/CINDA, Universidad, gobierno y empresa regionales (Santiago de Chile: Talleres de CPU, 1981); and Universidades e Instituções Científicas no Rio de Janeiro, edited by Simon Schwartzman, Coleção Estudos de Política Científica e Tecnológica no. 6 (Brasília: Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimiento Científico e Tecnológico, 1982).
