The Student Strike at the National Autonomous University of Mexico: A Political Analysis.
Rhoads, Robert A.; Mina, Liliana
Comparative Education Review, v45 n3 p334-53 Aug 2001
Analyzes political tensions related to student strikes at the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM), 1998-2000, which were sparked by proposed tuition fees. Discusses conflict between social justice sentiments focused on free and egalitarian access to higher education versus market-driven views promoting selective, competitive higher education to advance Mexico's position in the global economy.
