“…En paralelo se han elaborado otras explicaciones a partir de la economía política de la cultura (Jessop, 2008(Jessop, , 2017Sum & Jessop, 2013); la idea de universidad emprendedora (Clark, 1998) o empresarial (Etzkowitz & Leydesdorff, 2005); los estudios de ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería y matemáticas (STEM; Münch, 2016;Olson & Slaughter, 2014); las políticas de construcción de mercados (Jungblut & Vukasovic, 2018;Verger et al, 2017) y del Estado neoliberal (Marginson, 2016;Olssen & Peters, 2005); los procesos de privatización y desprivatización en el campo de la educación superior (Kwiek, 2000(Kwiek, , 2005. Sin embargo, tanto en el caso de estos intentos de explicación como en el de la corriente principal de los fundadores, los diferentes enfoques coexisten uno al lado del otro, con desigual desarrollo y escasa comunicación entre sí, no alcanzando nada parecido a una síntesis o siquiera a una convergencia, lo cual explica en parte la escasa acumulación teórica dentro del enfoque del AC.…”

Resumen: En las últimas décadas, la teoría del capitalismo académico ha ganado creciente relevancia como un enfoque para comprender la evolución reciente de los sistemas de educación Archivos Analíticos de Políticas Educativas Vol. 27, No. 79 2 superior. El presente artículo analiza la recepción de la teoría del capitalismo académico en América Latina. Con este fin, se exponen los principios conceptuales de esta aproximación y sus críticas en la literatura especializada. A continuación, se observa en detalle la recepción latinoamericana de este enfoque, prestando especial atención a su utilización para el análisis de los sistemas de educación superior de la región. Basándose en este análisis, se argumenta que el uso latinoamericano de la teoría del capitalismo académico aparece débil tanto en términos cuantitativos como cualitativos, aprovechándose a menudo para criticar el estado de los sistemas de educación superior antes que para avanzar en su comprensión. El artículo cierra con un resumen y enuncia líneas posibles de investigación. Palabras clave: Capitalismo académico; educación superior; América Latina; investigación en educación Circulation and reception of the theory of "academic capitalism" in Latin America Abstract: In recent decades, the theory of academic capitalism has gained increasing relevance as an approach for understanding the recent evolution of higher education systems. We analyze the reception of academic capitalism theory in Latin America. To meet this objective, the conceptual underpinnings of academic capitalism are explored as well as their criticisms in the specialized literature. Next, the Latin-American reception of this conceptual approach is examined in detail, with special attention to the ways in which this approach is used to evaluate national higher education systems. Building upon this analysis, it is argued that the Latin-American reception process shows limitations both in quantitative and qualitative terms and is frequently used to criticize the state of higher education systems rather than to understand them. The article closes with a summary and selected future lines of research.

“…Without and collective actors (such as organizations) could not relate to their environments, make decisions, or pursue more or less coherent strategies T current, outcomes, and consequently favour particular policy approaches. However, Sum and Jessop (2013) also see a need for clear distinction between social construal and social construction. Social construals are how we understand a particular social phenomenon or situation.…”

Complexity reduction and policy consensus: Asylum seekers, the right to work, and the ‘pull factor’ thesis in the UK context

Since the early 2000s, asylum policy in Western states has become increasingly dominated by the concept of the ‘pull factor’—the idea that the economic rights afforded to asylum seekers can act as a migratory pull, and will have a bearing on the numbers of asylum applications received. The pull factor thesis has been widely discredited by researchers but remains powerful among policymakers. Through an analysis of the pull factor in the UK context, and drawing on insights from Cultural Political Economy, this article argues that the hegemony of the pull factor thesis is best understood as a ‘policy imaginary’ which has become sedimented through both discursive and extra-discursive practices and processes. The article offers a means of understanding how a common sense assumption—which is challenged by a large body of evidence—has come to dominate policymaking in a key area of concern for politicians and policymakers.

“…Jessop (2002) argues that political economy play a vital role in rescaling the economy and spaces (national, regional, and global). Meanwhile, Jessop (2004) and (Sum & Jessop, 2015) focus on the semiotic dimension of political economy; they contend that the economy is culturally and politically constructed. Nonetheless, their approach to semiotic and cultural political economic analysis is somewhat in abstract.…”

The Discursive Construction of Global Economic Strategies in Turbulent Times

The trajectory of global economy in the first quarter of the twenty-first century was intercepted by the financial meltdown. State leaders advanced their arguments on the issue. Consequently, discourse as a particular moment of economic practices plays a salient role in the social processes of reconstructing a new global economy. The crisis has given rise to a scientific inquiry concerning the interface between the discursive process and social material process in manifesting the global economy. By referring to critical discourse analysis as a transdisciplinary research approach, this paper attempts to identify the global economic strategies and how these strategies are discursively constituted in economic texts during the global financial market crises of 2008-2011. One newspaper Opinion-Editorial article and four political economic speeches by state leaders provide resources of data for the study. The paper identifies three crucial global economic strategies discursively constructed in the social material processes of global economy in turbulent times. These economic strategies are embedded within practical arguments on the current global economic situation, value assumptions, and lexical choices.
