Coping with the demands of internationalization on universities in recent two decades, connected with the new world economic order, the traditional structures of higher education systems some countries have been transformed and a new wave of academic interactions has been produced under the name of internationalization. The aim of this paper is to comment on the internationalization of higher education in Latin America. To develop the topic, it starts by making some comments on the restricted and the comprehensive meaning of the term. It then discusses the context in which internationalization is taking place as part of the neoliberal globalization, academic capitalism and economic competitiveness. Within this context, two categories of internationalization are analyzed： competitive internationalization and solidary internationalization. The discussion about these two processes makes us re-think： what internationalization is for？ And what kind of internationalization do we want？
