Abstract

This article aims to analyze the concept of world-class universities as an object of dispute in the competitive field of higher education, based on the premise that in the globalized world its origin and consolidation occur taking as a basic reference international quality standards. Of a theoretical nature, the work problematizes higher education in the knowledge economy, in an articulated way to the exploration of data produced by the two main rankings that classify these universities – Academic Ranking of World Universities and Times Higher Education World University Rankings – published, respectively, in years 2019 and 2020. It is concluded that the concept of this new university model considers global quality criteria and indicators, but also the action of the other universities that are part of the field of higher education.
