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.
