Abstract

FEIJO, Rosemeri Nunes  and  TRINDADE, Helgio. The construction of the internationalization policy for Brazilian graduate studies. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2021, vol.37, e76211.  Epub Sep 08, 2021. ISSN 1984-0411.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0104-4060.76211.

This paper draws on extensive research and documentary analysis of the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Capes) [Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel] Boletins Informativos da Capes (InfoCAPES) [Informative Bulletins] from 1994 to 2002, and of the Planos Nacionais de Pós-Graduação (PNPG) [Brazilian National Graduate Plans] from 1975 to 2011, to discuss the internationalization process of the Brazilian Graduate Programs. The analysis showed that “internationalization” was a gradual process that appeared initially under the general topic of “international insertion”, one of the evaluation items of the higher-ranked programs (graded 6 and 7 in Capes hierarchy). Over the years it started to change into more assertive and well-defined procedures and developed into public policy in the PNPG 2011-2020. The research also demonstrates that some of the issues that have been discussed since the 1990’s remain in the Capes agenda regarding the system of evaluation and internationalization.
