Descripción
El objetivo del presente artículo es aplicar la metodología comparada al análisis de los procesos de democratización interna y externa de la Universidad Nacional de Rosario (UNR) y de la Universidad de Santiago de Chile (USACH). Teniendo en cuenta que ambas instituciones pertenecen a países latinoamericanos vecinos, Argentina y Chile, cuyas historias políticas encuentran importantes diferencias el desafío que nos propusimos como egresadas de ambas casas de estudios fue crear indicadores que nos permitieran comparar sus procesos de democratización y que nos sirvieran para ir más allá del análisis de nuestras realidades como casos únicos. El esfuerzo está puesto en operacionalizar los conceptos de democratización interna y externa a través de la creación de variables e indicadores y someterlos a control en el escenario comprendido, en el caso de la UNR, por la reforma del Estatuto de la Universidad en el año 1998 y el año 2015, y en el caso de la USACH por los años 2008 y 2015. En este sentido se hablará de la conformación de las estructuras de toma de decisión de la institución y de las características de la población universitaria. Se considerará que su mayor democratización estará, en el primer caso, en garantizarle a todos los estamentos la capacidad de voz y voto, y en el segundo, que su composición poblacional sea lo más parecida posible a la global de cada país.
The aim of this paper is to apply the comparative methodology to the analysis of internal and external democratization processes of the National University of Rosario (UNR) and the University of Santiago de Chile (USACH). Taking into account that both institutions belong to neighboring Latin American countries, Argentina and Chile, whose political histories find important differences, the challenge that we proposed as graduates of both houses of studies was to create indicators that allowed us to compare their processes of democratization and to serve us for Go beyond the analysis of our realities as unique cases. The effort is to operationalize the concepts of internal and external democratization through the creation of variables and indicators and subject them to control in the scenario included, in the case of the UNR, by the reform of the Statute of the University in 1998 and 2015, and in the case of USACH for the years 2008 and 2015. In this sense, we talk about the conformation of decision-making structures of the institution and the characteristics of the university population. It will be considered that greater democratization will be, in the first case, guaranteeing to all levels the capacity of voice and vote, and in the second, that its population composition is as close as possible to the global one of each country.
