This article addresses the relationships between globalization processes and the education reforms implemented in Latin America during the last two decades. We report a study that aimed at characterizing and comparing the main perspectives on this issue through the analysis of texts produced by academics and by governmental and non-governmental organizations. Employing the methodology of social cartography, we combine textual analysis tools with a visual representation of the discourse as an intertextual field. In our mapping we identify seven main perspectives: Economicist, Imperative Insertion, Integrationist, Normative Critique, Analytic Critique, and Alternative Globalization.
