The theoretical premise that arises is the referent of analysis based on the knowledge and experience of national, regional and international processes. Its reflection are evidence of the need for an integration plan to articulate the heterogeneity of the higher education institutions and countries, as to build and foster a closer and more effective South-South cooperation relationship that allows for an advance in the regional internationalization processes that would permit a greater independence and identity.
