OLIVEIRA, Adriana Rivoire Menelli de  and  MOROSINI, Marília Costa. International cooperation and equity: is it possible?. Rev. Inter Ação [online]. 2013, vol.38, n.2, pp.305-321. ISSN 0101-7136.  https://doi.org/10.5216/ia.v38i2.26105.

The study addresses issues of equity in terms of international cooperation between universities and the possibilities for exchange experiences with students from other countries. Most policies for academic mobility are directed to the North-North and/or South-North. More recently, a slight tendency towards South-South exchanges has been seen to guarantee that students from countries with social and economic development needs, such as Angola, Mozambique, Haiti and East Timor, among others, also be included. The text cites an experiment conducted in a Brazilian Institute of Higher Education, which provided study opportunities for students from Africa, Oceania and Central America, for the duration of their undergraduate education. This experience brought to light the theoretical debate about new possibilities for student exchange and inclusion and equity in higher education, based on the logic of solidarity.

Keywords : Internationalization; Higher Education; Equity; Horizontal International Cooperation.
