Resumo
This investigation is inserted in the research line State and Educational Policies of the Post-graduate Program in Education of the Universidade Federal de Goiás, Brazil, and had as aim to discuss the building of new social conceptions and roles requested to public universities by the reformation of Brazilian higher education (1995-2008) and by the Bologna Process in European Union (1999-2008). Watching the particularities of both Brazilian and European contexts, the interest of the research was driven to university as a social institution face to face the new requests put by State, by society and by the market which have been shaping its social aims. Since the last decades of twentieth century, the traditional social aims of the university came to be under questioning, suffering several censures, which has been putting in argument the need of restructuring this institution in order to arrogate new social roles according to the accelerated transformations due to productive rebuilding of capital. In this manner, in a scenery of great wrangling for global competition and of globalization of the capital, the accelerated transformations provoked by the flexible accumulation, face to the process of financiering of the economy and by the technical-scientific revolution (HARVEY, 2006; CHESNAIS, 1996; SANTOS, 1997; LOJKINE, 1995), new social, cultural, economic and political requests emerge linked to this process and the new relationship of State, market and civil society to the public university and its aims. The process of internalization of higher education has been becoming possible the introduction of new agents, regulations and requests to the academic formation and to the production of knowledge, what causes important transformations to the universities. For the realization of the study, was chosen the documental theoretical investigation joined to a macrossocial analysis. In this trajectory, has been used the bibliographic research on studies produced about the theme within Brazilian ambit (OLIVEIRA, 2000; CUNHA, 2004; COÊLHO, 2004; SGUISSARDI, 2008; DIAS SOBRINHO, 2007; AMARAL, 2008; DOURADO, 2008; GOMES, 2008; among others) and within European context (PACHECO, 2003; CHARLE et al., 2004; BARROSO, 2005; ANTUNES, 2007; MAGALHÃES, 2006; DALE, 2008; among others). Documents produced by Brazilian governments and within the ambit of European Union which regulate and guide the process of reformulation in Brazil and Europe have been collected and analyzed. Furthermore, documents elaborated by transnational organisms and by institutions of the civil society as well as documents produced and made disposable by institutions of higher education in Brazil and in European Union have been collected and analyzed too. The research shows that the process of restructuring the higher education in Brazil as well as in European Union, begun in the nineties of the last century has been causing significant changes in the identity, in the conception, in the relevance and social pertinence criteria of the universities, what has been making possible some naturalization of the new social aims and of the new forms of conceiving them more gotten along with the requests of the productive globalization and of the competitive interests of the national state
