During the Alliance for Progress, roughly in the 1960s, US-universities engaged systematically in colaborations with Latin American universities. This went beyond simple mobility programs, in many cases, the US-missions developed courses, degrees, participated in institutional reforms. However, this chapter of international colaboration in higher education seems to be hardly studied. Do you know of any of those experiences or studies on them?
Yes, Prof. Philipp Altmann.
Venezuela increased its research and university capabilities with the Alliance for Progress.
It was the second part of a new start (industrialization started before with P. Jiménez in the 1950s) but it served for all the industrial (mainly electrical and oil sectors) and university development in the 70s and 80s.
President F. Kennedy visited Venezuela in 1961 following the Alliance for Progress plan, when R. Betancourt was president.
