Abstract
This paper aims at situating and discussing the process of collaboration among Brazilian, Paraguayan, Argentine and Chilean universities as a strategy of South-South internationalization related to a transnational project involving the four countries. It is also a result of international and local articulation of the international relations affairs offices of the universities of these countries resulting on the so called University Network of the Latin American Integration Route (Unirila). Discussion will focus on situating the reader on the process of internationalization and regional integration, on the constitution of the international university network, as well as on the potentialities, integration challenges with other sectors involved and further directions.
