The internationalization of the IDP's Professional Master's Program in Public Administration (MPAP/IDP) had its guidelines established by the Internationalization Policy and also by the Strategic Planning of the PPG. With regard to international agreements, the IDP has the following partnerships with foreign educational institutions: - GERMANY: Deutsch-Lusitanische Juristenvereinigung Cooperation Network (DLJV): Universität zu Köln (University of Cologne); Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (University of Humboldt-Berlin); Universität Heidelberg (University of Heidelberg); Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster (University of Münster); Fachhochschule für öffentliche Verwaltung des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen; Steinbeis School of International Business and Entrepreneurship (SIBE); - CHINA: University of Macau; - SPAIN: University of Granada; - UNITED STATES: The University of Texas; Pennsylvania State University (PSU); American University, Washington College of Law (WCL); University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley); University of California, Davis (UC Davis); George Mason University; The University of Oklahoma; - FRANCE: École Nationale d'Administration (ENA); - ITALY: Università Degli Studi Di Roma Trè; - PORTUGAL: Institute of Legal and Political Sciences of the University of Lisbon; Higher Institute of Social and Political Sciences of the University of Lisbon; Faculty of Law of Universidade Nova de Lisboa. The program systematically monitors and encourages internationalization actions through the participation of PPG students in international conferences, students who have taken courses at foreign universities and courses in another language offered in the Master's. By way of illustration, below are some descriptive information and qualitative reports about the actions, initiatives and results of the internationalization that the PPG achieved in the last four years (2017-2020):

At Turin School of Regulation, student Daniel Cardoso Danna, class 1/2018, participated in the 22nd edition of the International Summer School on Regulation of Local Public Services. This edition lasted two weeks and took place between the 2nd and 13th of September 2019. “Through the IDP, I learned about the course on regulation of public services offered at the Turin School of Regulation. I work at the National Electric Energy Agency – ANEEL and it was an excellent opportunity to discuss practices with regulators from different countries and other infrastructure sectors. The academic environment I found in Turin is very similar to the IDP, with a method based on theoretical exposition as well as intense debate among participants. Having taken courses in regulation and lived this format throughout the master's degree at IDP made it easier and more quickly acclimated me to the course in Italy. I believe that this conciliation between theory and practice is an excellent way to bring the academic world closer to the professional” (Daniel Danna, graduate of MPAP/IDP, 2020). Additionally, Daniel commented on the development and presentation of the final work, an evaluative activity required during the summer course. “Groups of infrastructure sectors were formed, an economic-financial feasibility study was prepared and presented to the class. In my group we chose a project related to combating energy theft in the São Paulo region. This issue is sensitive for distributors because it represents a loss of revenue for their business. I presented the project to the other classmates, as well as some professors from the institution who were present. There were no publications related to the work. Another interesting issue was the technical visits. We visit solid waste and water treatment companies, services regulated in the European Union. As for the network of relationships, they are concerned about maintaining this connection with the students, I received some information from the school and classmates continue to be in contact through the WhatsApp group” (Daniel Danna, MPAP/IDP graduate, 2020) . In addition, Daniel is listed as a member of the Turin School of Regulation Alumni network, on the institution's alumni portal.

Subject: State Making, Nation Building and Public Policy: A Comparative Approach In 2019, Prof. Dr. Charles David Crumpton, who is Senior Research Associate and Adjunct Professor at the University of Maryland (USA), taught the course “State Making, Nation Building and Public Policy”: A Comparative Approach” which took place from August 9 to September 7 and the master's days held10 discs by professors in public administration, law and days. We conducted a brief interview with Prof. Charles, after the first meeting of the discipline and we questioned him about the expectation of teaching the discipline, reception of students and other points We highlight below some references to this interview: “I have worked in several universities in Brazil, teaching work and conducting research, but the IDP is probably the most organized and efficient institution. (...) Today my first class, with my students and it seemed to me to be much more detailed and they studied in the first class. The class is defined by different fields of activity, law and public administration, which made me very smart. Both the institution and the students have been very good so far. (...) Well, this class is in English, so students must be motivated both to study and to test their level of English and to engage in the course. I think they are more motivated than most students. North America will teach in diverse and diverse North America, there is a comfortable and stimulating space, in South America, there is a comfortable and stimulating space for teaching, teaching, as much” (Charles Crumpton, University of Maryland , USA, 2019). The initial perception of the professor about his expectations regarding the discipline and the technical criteria of the students is confirmed in the positive feedback from the students. We spoke with student Ronaldo Neves de Moura Filho, from the professional master's degree in public administration, who highlighted the following points regarding the discipline: “Among the disciplines that most marked my learning trajectory at IDP, I highlight “State Making, Nation Building and Public Policy: A Comparative Approach“, with prof. Charles David. In addition to academic knowledge, the professor brought to the classroom concrete cases resulting from his extensive experience of decades, in countries of different continents and administrative and political cultures. The comparative approach, more than providing anecdotal examples or relativizing our concrete problems of public policies in Brazil, provided tools tested in other latitudes that help in the construction of urgent solutions to the issues that I face in the work in the scope of Public Administration. Finally, Prof. it is intellectually restless and leaves provocations that raise the reflections that must precede our action as citizens. Great!“ (Charles Crumpton, University of Maryland, USA, 2019).“

Subject: Negotiation and Conflict Management This subject was the result of a cooperation agreement between the IDP and the Institute for Collaborative Innovation and Strategic Dialogue (INCIDES-Chile). The classes were taught by Prof. Dr. Rolando Garrido Quiroz and by Prof. Me. Isabela de Andrade and took place between January 17 and 25, 2020. The discipline counted 23 students enrolled, including the participation of the professional master's programs in public administration and law and the academic master's degree in law. We had the opportunity to talk with professors Rolando and Isabela, in which professors talked about the partnership between IDP-INCIDES, about the current demonstrations in Chile and the parallel with the demonstrations that took place in 2013 in Brazil and about the Systemic Institutional Legitimacy Crisis (CLIS). Below, we highlight an excerpt from the interview, when Prof. Rolando was asked how the course “Negociación y Gestión de Conflictos” can help students and public managers in their organizations. “Delivering tools, perspectives, theories, methodologies and updated technologies in the field of negotiation and conflict management to professionals who are decision makers in different institutions, especially public ones, so that the culture of negotiation allows a better development of their own institutions and of the inter-institutional relations of these institutions” (Rolando Quiroz, INCIDES-Chile, 2020). The professor Isabela also participated in the interview and was asked about the objective of the partnership between IDP and INCIDES, as well as the partnership between these institutions for both Brazil and Chile. “The objective of this partnership is to create ties that are prosperous, between Brazil and Chile, promoting excellence in training, the human capital of our countries, and human capital, people are the greatest asset we have, so it is very important because they enable the development of research, differentiated training programs and that we can build bridges between different institutions” (Isabela Andrade, INCIDES-Chile, 2020). In a complementary way, some students exposed their experiences regarding the discipline and how it proved to be relevant for both professional and academic training. We present below the report of the student Antônio José Nogueira Santana, from the professional master's degree in public administration. “The course of Negotiation and Management of Conflicts is important in the construction of knowledge, both for the Professional Master's Degree in Public Administration and for life. This is because the professors made it possible to show us, through experiences in groups in the classroom, that conflict will be good or bad depending on the ability to deal with it. Our approach needs to be to understand a conflict as an indication that there is something that needs to be transformed in a relationship or situation so that the best outcome is achieved for all sides involved. In this context, it is essential to manage emotions and bodily expressions. Furthermore, it is also necessary to deal with the process of dehumanization and construction of the figure of the enemy that a dominant group uses to make those who think differently be diminished, belittled. It is also necessary to understand that our interpersonal conflicts, at smaller levels, also incur the dehumanization of our personal relationships. At the end of the course, I was able to conclude that the entire conflict negotiation process concerns the sense of belonging to a group, so that the person feels safe, while in the other he feels threatened, so that if neither side is willing to rebuild their interests in favor of a common denominator, the final objective will not be reached” (Antônio Santana, student of MPAP, 2020).

Discipline: Special Topics: Introduction to Political Risk Analysis In the second half of 2020, the PPG received the participation of prof. Matthew Taylor, from American University, who taught the course “Special Topics: Introduction to Political Risk Analysis”. The course was taught entirely in English and had the involvement of students, accounting for 46 enrollments. During the course evaluation, we collected the testimonies of several students. We reproduce below the report of the student Iara do Espírito Santo, which, in our view, translates the benefits of the internationalization of the PPG for her students: “The discipline of Political Risk Analysis was of great importance both for my academic experience and for my career professional. I was able to learn the importance of risks arising from political actions and, as we cannot avoid them, I learned how to prevent them, mitigate them and how to act when they happen. It is possible to apply learning in any area of ​​work or in any area of ​​academic research, given the systemic character of the effects of political risks. Professionally, the subject was even more enriching, as it brought to light a lack of public service, which is risk analysis. The fact that the course was taught in English, with conversation and readings in this language, contributed to the fluency of the students and to bring them to the international academic environment, showing that it is possible to publish works, participate in events and take courses in countries of English language” (Iara Santo, MPAP student, 2020).

In action with Universidade Nova de Lisboa (FDUL), the IDP received the student Adriana Firmino da Silva Alves, linked to the Master's in Law and Management at the Faculty where she attended part of her master's degree at IDP. This exchange is part of the agreement made between the organizations. When she arrived at the IDP, Adriana indicated that the disciplines of the professional master's degree in public administration had a greater relationship with her dissertation, whose research is related to Law and Technology, with an emphasis on Artificial Intelligence. The student arrived at IDP to participate in the main academic activities of the 2nd semester of 2019, in which she attended, with approval, the subjects “federalism and public policies“, “project management in the public sector”, “judicial management” and “topics specialties - leadership, governance and transformations in public management”. Due to the positive experience she had during this semester, the student requested an extension of her exchange, which was granted. In this sense, in the 1st semester of 2020 the student will continue her studies by enrolling in the subjects “Law and Public Policies“ and “Strategic Planning in the Public Sector”. Exchange student Adriana presented a brief account of what the study experience at the IDP has been like. “The opportunity to participate in this academic experience provided me with greater knowledge between two university worlds that are completely different in terms of teaching, but similar in essence. It made it possible for me to have a greater base of inter-institutional participation, oriented towards the integration of different scientific cultures, with a view to creating innovative synergies for my learning and research. In this sense, I am grateful to IDP for receiving me so well and for allowing me to enjoy quality education through an impeccable faculty, with highly qualified professionals, who make up the teaching team of this institution” (Adriana Alves, exchange student Portuguese, 2019).
