MAUES, OLGAÍSES CABRAL and GUIMARAES, ANDRÉ RODRIGUES. HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE PATH OF INTERNATIONALIZATION. Revista Brasileira de Política e Administração da Educação [online]. 2019, vol.35, n.2, pp.307-328. Epub Dec 10, 2019. ISSN 2447-4193. https://doi.org/10.21573/vol35n22019.90971.
This paper aims to analyze the conception and the role of internationalization of higher education from the perspective of the World Bank and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. This is a documentary research, based on historical and dialectical materialism, whose analysis considered the main published studies by such organizations about the theme under discussion. It is determined that internationalization is defended and used as a way of privatization and commercialization of knowledge, as a “new” strategy for the capital. Opposed to this, the internationalization of higher education is defended as a way of broadening the academic borders considering, especially, education as a social right which acts in the perspective of the human emancipation.
