MAYER, Liliana  and  CATALANO, Bárbara. Internationalization of education and mobility: an analysis upon the argentinian case. Universitas [online]. 2018, n.29, pp.19-41. ISSN 1390-8634.  https://doi.org/10.17163/uni.n29.2018.01.

The internationalization of education is a topic of growing interest. It refers to various patterns of power relations, as well as the accumulation of advantages and changes linked to the mobilities in modernity and fundamentally the effects of globalization in contemporary societies. In this article we analyze, on the one hand, the evolution of this education phenomenon, taking into account the Argentine case, particularly in the city of Buenos Aires. The existing inequalities and the problems linked to social exclusion and to the (dis) advantages that have an impact on the inequitable access to education in this international framework are considered as an underlying element of academic mobility. Likewise, the imminent globalization that permeates the different spheres of social life also has its correlation with the increase in mobility and the diversification of travel, among which are trips for reasons of study, as will be shown below with precise data on arrivals of non-residents to Argentina. Finally, certain decision factors are listed when developing study trips by non-residents entering the country in general and the city of Buenos Aires in particular. Among them stand out: the gratuity, ta democratic university ethos, certain discourses on educational quality, and references and scholastic traditions.

Keywords : Internationalization of education; scholastic mobilities; accumulation of advantages; and globalization.
