RAMOS, Rosane Karl. Internationalization policies and strategies in Ireland and Brazil: a comparative study. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2023, vol.23, n.76, pp.579-600.  Epub Apr 05, 2023. ISSN 1981-416X.  https://doi.org/10.7213/1981-416x.23.076.ao05.

This study presents and compares the internationalization in education process in Ireland and Brazil in terms of macro-level (policies), and micro-level (strategies and practices). The main research questions are: (a) how is the internationalization process presented in official/government publications? (b) what are the main strategies used towards its implementation? This is a qualitative study based on non-comprehensive scoping review on documents, such as policies, recommendations and guidelines, and at the strategic level (micro level), reports, journal articles and student guides. The analysis was oriented by two perspectives: hegemonic and counter-hegemonic (Abba & Corsetti, 2016). Amongst the findings, it can be inferred that both countries follow the hegemonic perspective, with significant emphasis on the economic implications and benefits of internationalization.

Keywords : Internationalization; Higher Education; Ireland; Brazil.
