Abstract
This article analyses recent policies in higher education in Mexico. The last two decades provide the starting point, and the interpretation centres around higher education policies drawn up by successive presidential administrations of Salinas de Gortari (1988–1994) and Zedillo Ponce de León (1994–2000). The second part sets out an initial systemization of the political agenda launched by the federal government of Vicente Fox for the period 2001–2006.
