The objective of this article is to analyze the possible influence of certain international organizations that granted funding to Mexico during the 1980s and 1990s, on higher education. It focuses on the curricular design of Law degree programs and, from that basis, provides a provisional explanation of the progressive “technocratization” of the curricula of liberal baccalaureates, especially those corresponding to the training in Law from the late twentieth century until today. The main purpose of this research is to find some of the causes that explain the suppression of subjects such as the History of Law (Roman, national, or universal) or the Philosophy of Law, fundamental disciplines in the formation of the legal criterion and the general culture of any jurist.
