Abstract

This article analyses the relationship between socio-political conditions and inclusion in higher education. In doing so, the article contrasts the situation in Western Europe and the situation of Eastern European countries that lived under state socialism and Latin American countries ruled by military dictatorships. The study covers the period from 1950 to 2000. The main hypothesis is that socio-political conditions influence expansion processes in higher education and therefore it is not a process of constant expansion as new institutionalism theories have established. Finally, it uses sociological theories of functional differentiation and systems to explain the relationship between socio-political conditions and higher education.
