The purpose of this article is to discuss the development of internationalization actions in Higher Education in the last decades. It presents the dimensions of this concept as a way of apprehending the politics that intervene about educational decisions and how it can acquire different meanings depending on who is at the source of its “interpretation” and the context to which it applies. In the empirical field, he analyzes the role of the State University of Bahia (UNEB) in the context of contemporaneity, based on its internationalization actions. This is an exploratory and documentary research, whose results point to conceptual gaps, evidencing the need for greater investments in research that deepen the understanding of the various aspects concerning internationalization and note the challenges faced in UNEB for the implementation of an institutional policy of internationalization.
