ABSTRACT
The text presented is part of
the study “Evaluation of postgraduate
(PG) education in Brazil, Portugal, and Spain” and analyzes the five
Brazilian National Plans of Posgraduate Studies (in portuguese: Plano Nacional
de Pós-Graduação—PNPG), specifically evaluating the relationship among internationalization,
integration, and development regional
relations, in Brazil’s relations with its neighbors
in Latin America and the Caribbean. Using research methodology from the field of
knowledge of comparative education, it seeks to construct three research axes in
order to propose an analytical categorization on the following epistemological actions:
to relate the historical context of each Brazilian PNPG to the concepts of regional
development and integration, especially with respect to national needs for the expansion
and renewal of science and technology; trying to show the evolution of PG courses and programs
(specifically master’s
and doctoral courses); and also in IV and V PNPG, to analyze the direction that
the internationalization objective has taken and which regional integration proposals
are present in the planning documents. Preliminarily, we can affirm that, although Brazil incorporated the discourse
of regional integration in its national plans, especially in the so-called “national-developmentalist” decades, only from the
end of the 20th century did the theme
appear more objectively and focused on real actions regarding evolution of post-graduation.
