Education is a topic which is constantly in evidence on the international agenda. Since the level of education attained by the society is linked to economic development, political maturity, raising the quality of lifestyle and so on. From the 1990s on, it is observed that the education gained increasingly importance on the agenda of: multilateral agencies (UNESCO, OECD , WTO among others), the federal government from central and semi-peripheral countries, the companies benefited by the knowledge economy, the means of the dissemination of academic knowledge and the media as whole. It is estimated that "the Global higher education capacity is projected to increase over 150% in the first quarter of the 21st century" (Hudzik, 2013, p.52). In an environment in which predominates the competition, comparative methodologies (global academic rankings – ARWU, THE and QS – and the national system of postgraduate studies of CAPES) are used as academic management tools in order to build up strategies to enhance legitimacy of research programs and universities in the international scenario. In this direction that this qualitative study of an exploratory nature lends itself to contribute to. It is based on investigating the possible type of relation between the criteria of the indicators of such rankings mentioned and the national system of pos-graduate CAPES to go up the internationalization of research programs in Brazil. Thus, the Institutionalism was the theoretical framework that guided the understanding of this study. Regarding the documentary research, the materials related to the indicators of rating criteria adopted by CAPES in the allocation of Grade 7 to the program of post- graduate studies in Business Administration were analysed thoroughly. The empirical part was based on semi-structured interviews given by international faculties with experience in academic management of universities who excel in the international scenario. The findings revealed a strong relationship between the indicator criteria regarding the quality of faculty and scientific productivity of global academic rankings and CAPES’ evaluation system. What proved, being national or global, comparative methodologies follow¸ as deliberative strategies in the late twentieth century, Anglo–Saxon standards lined the reductionism of academic quality in the context of research and publication to what is quantitative.
