Políticas de internacionalização das federais do Nordeste e do Norte : princípios políticos e investimentos

Abstract

Internationalization is an agenda that was incorporated relatively late into the planning of federal universities in the North and Northeast regions of Brazil. In addition, these regions are less favored in terms of investment compared to those located in the South–Southeast axis, and this late incorporation results in processes that are still incipient and disconnected from strategies aimed at integrating these regions into the global knowledge community. Therefore, studying the positioning of internationalization as a strategic priority for universities in these regions remains urgent. How they conceptualize it and how much they invest are questions that provide an interesting starting point. The objective of this study is, based on a bibliographic discussion of concepts and issues related to the internationalization of higher education, to identify the perspectives and investments of some universities in order to generate initial indicators for future researchers who wish to formulate more specific questions.
