This article analyzes Brazil’s participation in the Arcu-Sul system and the perspective of Brazilian actors on the accreditation process of Mercosur. The system aims to establish regional criteria for the quality of higher education in Mercosur. Interviews were conducted with Brazilian actors participating in the accreditation process of this system. The results emphasize that Brazil plays an important role and, for some actors, the accreditation process takes place fully within the country. However, the data indicate that Brazil creates obstacles to the functioning of the system. From this perspective, it can be seen that Brazil’s participation in the Arcu-Sul system is very prominent and can contribute to ensure quality in the region.

Keywords : HIGHER EDUCATION; ACCREDITATION; QUALITY OF EDUCATION; BRAZIL.
