Abstract

Internationalization of higher education, considered a new university pillar or even a process that integrates issues involving teaching, research and service, has acquired great relevance in recent decades. Among its activities, this article emphasizes the aspect of incoming student mobility, that is, the access of foreign students into a given country. Our goal is to analyze the aspect of international student mobility in Brazil, trying to point out possible reasons that explain the following question: why the country receives fewer international students compared to others in Latin America? Through a comparative case study with small-n, Brazil is related to Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Honduras
and the Dominican Republic, using four conditions of comparison: official languages of the countries; international reputation of universities by country based on international rankings; presence of a migrant civil-scientific network; and the perception of violence. The analysis aims to discuss internationalization of higher education in Latin America and especially in Brazil, inferring that the variables related to language and the presence of civil-scientific network are impact factors that may explain why the country is below the regional average in relation to the number of foreign students in colleges.
