摘要

The discussion of this chapter focuses on a brief introduction to the history of neoliberalism and its relationship to higher education policy in Indonesia. In addition, a study of BourdieuBourdieu’s main ideas related to neoliberalism and higher education policy is presented. Then, Bourdieu’s ideas were affirmed by explaining the key concepts of capital (cultural, social, and symbolic) and positional and relational complexity. In the context of the dominance of global neoliberalism, Indonesian higher education has experienced a paradigmatic shift from an autonomous knowledge-creating institution to an instrument subordinated to economic imperatives. Behind the rhetoricrhetoric of freedom and independence, the Independent Learning-Independent Campus (MBKMMBKM) policy strengthens the dependence of academic institutions on market logic and economic orientationorientation. The responseresponse of the educational community to this transformation is not homogeneous. Despite pressurepressure to adopt market logic and new performance metricsmetrics, many academics develop adaptationadaptation, resistance, and recontextualization strategies. Bourdieu’s approach is a preference for changes in higher education policy and practice that open gaps that are designed in such a way in all policy trajectories, as well as becoming a space for the struggle for the productionproduction and reproduction of the meaning and function of universities in society.
