Abstract

This comparative study explores institutional diversity in three South American higher education
systems: Argentina, Chile and Peru. From a perspective of external diversity (among institutions),
it offers a differentiated understanding on the ways in which the emergency of providers outside
the university patterns have been promoted and developed identifying tensions, challenges and
current responses. The diversification process ended with the university monopoly in higher
education but not with its condition as an institutional referent. However, a variety of providers
are strengthening their increasing role by showing positive achievements in aspects as stability,
regulation, information systems and quality enhancement.
