Abstract:	The main objective of this doctoral dissertation is to analyze the processes of internationalization within Brazilian sociology, taking as its case study the Programa Institucional de Internacionalização, Capes-PrInt (2019–2024). Understanding the circulation of researchers as a key element in the legitimation of scientific spaces, the study critically examines internationalization by investigating how centers and peripheries mobilize the concept and, more specifically, how Brazilian sociology positions itself within this process. The research explores how sociologists circulate among unequal spaces, questioning whether such flows foster genuine global dialogue or tend to reproduce the hierarchies of the scientific field. The specific objectives are: (1) to review and analyze the concept of internationalization; (2) to present and discuss the main internationalization strategies adopted by Brazil and other countries; (3) to systematize data related to the Capes-PrInt program within the field of sociology; and (4) to investigate the perceptions, trajectories, experiences and evaluations of professors of sociology graduate programs participating in the initiative. The methodology combines a literature review, based primarily on the debate about centers and peripheries in the circulation of knowledge; document analysis of graduate regulations; systematization and analysis of Capes-PrInt data; and the application of questionnaires and semi-structured qualitative interviews with participating sociology professors. The study identified a cleavage between center and periphery understandings of internationalization, indicating the need for situated analyses. In the Brazilian case, internationalization has become a systematic component of academic careers in recent decades; however, its meanings and demands unfold in complex and plural ways, marked by tensions and divergences between institutional conceptions and those perceived by the professors. The absence of institutional counterparts and a robust evaluation plan for Capes-PrInt have made international stays heavily dependent on the individual strategies of researchers. The research also found that personal and practical dimensions shaped the choice of destinations and the formation of networks, suggesting the presence of factors that go beyond the program’s objectives. Thus, internationalization takes on multiple meanings: on the one hand, it can expand and consolidate research networks; on the other, it may be mobilized for different purposes. The study concludes that while internationalization programs such as Capes-PrInt have the potential to strengthen Brazilian sociology as an active participant in global dialogue, they can be also used to meet demands that do not necessarily aim at international insertion.
