Internationalization has been promoting changes in the policies and purposes of Higher Education. In this article, we intend to build the social network of scientific communities dedicated to studies on the internationalization of Higher Education, based on the World Declaration on Higher Education in the 21st Century (1998), and to analyze the emerging concerns with the authors most cited by the scientific community. As a methodological strategy, we first used bibliometric analysis by mapping scientific production in the period from 1998 to 2020, compiling a sample of 810 articles. Then, the 10 most cited articles were located and analyzed by Content Analysis. It was found that 50% of the production analyzed is located between China, Brazil, and the United States. It is concluded that internationalization can be considered an agent of globalization, influenced by multilateral organizations and the western global north, which has greater prestige, cultural capital and resources in the stratification of Higher Education. Furthermore, it should be noted that academic capitalism has been producing changes in the governance and differentiation of institutions (world-class universities), involving the commodification of university education, the attraction of foreign students, competition for funding linked to research and the reduction of public investment. In the linguistic context of internationalization, the diffusion of the English language as a linguistic policy, as a marker of success, power and social status, as well as a mechanism of discrimination, racism and cognitive exclusion, stands out.
