O presente ensaio constituiu a Oração de Sapiência proferida na cerimónia de Abertura Solene do Ano Lectivo 2019/2020 no ISMT a 6 de Novembro de 2019. Nele, a autora reflecte sobre a internacionalização das instituições do ensino superior, dando destaque à passagem de uma ênfase na mobilidade internacional de estudantes, enquanto modalidade por excelência de internacionalização do ensino, para uma ênfase na própria internacionalização dos cursos e das instituições. Para esse efeito, o ensaio percorre conceitos teóricos centrais nesta questão – internacionalização do ensino superior, internacionalização em casa e internacionalização do currículo –, salientando algumas das dinâmicas institucionais e pedagógicas que lhes estão associadas. Na parte final do ensaio, nota-se a necessidade de equilibrar os requisitos de quantificação e estandardização dos indicadores de internacionalização com uma atenção às especificidades das áreas disciplinares, argumentando-se que estas devem ter um papel crucial nas dinâmicas institucionais de internacionalização do currículo.
Self-determination is a crucial concept in establishing the legitimacy of political communities in the international system, and thereby in constructing social identities and political loyalties. At the most general level, self-determination refers to an idea of a right to freedom. In international politics, it also refers to a norm on ways of bounding political communities. At the same time, what the self-determination precisely means is contested and contingent. I argue that self-determination envolves today amidst a tension between the challenges of diversity and liberal peace dictates. While diversity has to do with varieties of cultural expression, socioeconomic organization and political status, liberal peace dictates concern global governance practices that tend to impose previous liberal models of democracy, development and human rights. The essay first presents the evolution of the meaning of self-determination in international politics. Then it addresses critical approaches upon contemporary leberal peace. The remaining sections analyze how contemporary self-determination movements present claims highly suggestive to rethink forms of political community, of state-community relation, and of participation in global governance structures.Keywords: Self-determination, Liberal Peace, Diversity, Development.
