Title: A Universidad de los Andes e o estabelecimento da Frente Nacional, Colômbia, 1948-1968
Abstract: This research reviews the role of the Universidad de Los Andes (Uniandes, Bogotá, Colombia), in the making of the coalition regime known as the Frente Nacional .Combining a review of the directive board's archives and the analytical reconstruction of the trajectories and networks of its members, we draw a map of the field of power for the period between the founding of Uniandes (1948), and the consolidation of the Frente Nacional.In this thesis, we analyse the colombian elites and their use of higher education as a tool for the reorganization of the political field in a context of social claims.
