“…La expansión del mundo se ha sustentado en un modelo imperialista, de expansión territorial y espiritual, de manipulación del cuerpo y la conciencia, que en los últimos años se ha llevado más que nada a través de actores económicos (Abdalla y Faria, 2019). Por cuenta de esto, se ha comenzado a desarrollar un gran debate en torno al estado y el papel que ha desempeñado desde el siglo XX.…”

Dos hechos caracterizan la globalización: de un lado, el incremento de interacciones sociales ha dado lugar a un nuevo ámbito social que se caracteriza por tener sus propias instituciones e imaginarios sociales, los cuales se superponen o entran en conflicto con aquellos que son propios de sociedades particulares; de otro lado, este nuevo ámbito social cuenta con sus propias clausuras, tendencia de lo social a explicarse a partir de sí misma. Juntos hacen parte de un mismo fenómeno por el cual el planeta entero ha participado de lo que en este trabajo se denomina clausura mundánica, proceso mediante el cual el mundo deviene sujeto-objeto-contenedor, llevándolo a ser un imaginario incuestionable. Precisamente porque nadie duda del mundo es necesario hacerlo y analizar cómo se manifiesta, qué efecto tiene en la experiencia de vivir en un ámbito social global, unitario e interdependiente. Para ello el artículo se encuentra dividido en tres partes: primero, análisis de la mundialización como el proceso por el cual el mundo se hace sujeto de su propio devenir; segundo, análisis de la globalización como el proceso mediante el cual el mundo logra coincidir con la tierra o consigo mismo; tercero, siendo los dos momentos constitutivos de la clausura mundánica, globalización y mundialización han derivado en una tiranía de mundo que no es más que la situación de heteronomía a la que conduce el mundo en la forma de una alienación frente a los entes y el tiempo. En el artículo se exploran las propuestas que caracterizaron el ánimo intelectivo de comienzos del siglo XX y, también, se acudirá a ciertos aportes de la Escuela Inglesa de Relaciones Internacionales por ayudar a enriquecer esta discusión. El objetivo de esta indagación es poder elucidar ciertos elementos que permitan construir una narrativa alternativa que pueda ayudar a comprender mejor la experiencia de vivir en un mundo en el cual el neoliberalismo se ha hecho una razón global.

“…In addition, the neoliberal project has led to uncontrolled growth of certain regions, around the marketification of labour. The inability of States to establish new job opportunities has favoured migration, and as a result, the agglomeration of people in and around market-oriented cities (or regions) (Abdalla 2014;Abdalla and Faria 2019;Davis 2004). The result of this process was the expansion of poverty in the cities, from the expulsion of poor people from downtown, pushing them to peripheral neighbourhoods, giving rise to the spaces of urbanisation once property prices became prohibitive (Harvey 2006(Harvey , 2012.…”

The purpose of this paper is to show evidence of the undetermined expansion of Polanyi’s fictitious commodities within the Brazilian nuclear context. The issue of the marketification of social agendas has drawn a lot of attention to the data, collected through in-depth interviews. The analytical process was guided by the decolonial theory approach and by critical discourse analysis. Among the analysis’ main findings, it is possible to point out the elaboration of a framework which reveals the mechanisms employed by the Brazilian nuclear segment as a way of exercising parallel power and silencing social agendas. The main contributions are the temporal and geopolitical updating of Polanyi’s thesis; and the definition of the mechanisms used by the company Eletronuclear and by institutions as a way of co-optation, naturalisation and marketification of social and political agendas.

“…To develop entrepreneurship and woman empowerment, the concept of SME is encouraged. Abdalla and Faria (2019) argued that most of the cases SME increases the production cost. Consequently, SMEs are forced to be collapsed if they are to compete with industry.…”

Purpose Universally, university is considered as the apex body which is ethically obliged to present a substantial society. In doing so, universities often innovate dynamic business models and theories. Ideally, the countries whose universities contribute for better and sustainable business growth are the advanced one. However, universities themselves should be the business organisation – an argument is yet to receive attention. Although literature lacks in the area of education business especially university provision, the sector behaves as business entity after the inception of private sector. Therefore, this paper aims to explore the paradigm transformation of university sector and its impact on the society. Design/methodology/approach Given the differentiated nature of research questions, multiple techniques are used to collect the data. However, this research adopts the norms of qualitative methods. Both secondary and primary data are used. While secondary data are collected by University Grants Commission (UGC), primary data are collected through interviews. Findings Findings show that the development of university sector started following monopoly model. More than half a century, the same model was continued. Thereafter, duopoly model was introduced which carried until the inception of private sector. The growth of private sector followed oligopoly model which was further extended to small and medium enterprises (SMEs). These days, society compares university with “diploma mill”, as production of knowledge and civic society is longer than the part of the core business of university. Consequently, compromising with research is to be judged as a threat to overall development that includes business and social development. Originality/value A few studies have been published in the area of private university. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, none covers the oligopoly-ism and SME-ism behaviour of university and its impact on the concept of university and on the society. Therefore, this project aims to understand the norms of university business and its substantial contribution on the social change.
