SUMMARY:

The present master's dissertation conducted an in-depth analysis of the transformations in Chinese higher education from 2000 to 2020, examining and contextualizing these changes within the framework of global higher education. In this scenario, the rapid expansion of the higher education system in China stands out, undergoing a significant transformation by adopting a massified model for access to education while maintaining an elitist approach to accessing world-class quality education. This work analyzes the ascent of some Chinese universities in global international rankings, indicating a pursuit of international prominence by selected institutions. To achieve this, the dissertation examines government policies implemented to boost higher education in China, with a focus on the strategic plans 211 and 985. Diverging from the autonomous models adopted by Western countries, such as the United States and England, the Chinese government employed a "top-down" approach, imposing policies from the top and concentrating investments in a selected group of universities. These institutions, known as the C9, were the target of massive investments to attain the status of world-class universities, aligning with successful models in Western countries. The study concludes that China has been successful in increasing production and the international ranking of some selected universities. However, it also suggests that these institutions have not been able to achieve the status of a world-class university they aspired to, as they still face issues related to the lack of academic freedom, a prerequisite for a world-class university.
