Abstract:	The institutionalization of social sciences in Brazil, as in other nations of the Global South, is directly influenced by power asymmetries in the field of knowledge. This doctoral thesis connects the history of social sciences to the issue of the geopolitics of knowledge, focusing on a central aspect of the academic formation process: the academic training in postgraduate courses. Narrowing the research down to a paradigmatic period for international academic exchange in Brazilian history and looking at a specific discipline, this undertaking answers the following question: to what extent did the global asymmetries that structure power relations in the field of knowledge shape the profile and determinants of the international circulation of Brazilian sociologists during the military dictatorship? The investigation was initially based on a bibliographic analysis of the specialized literature on the history of social sciences, examining the conditions for the establishment of institutions between 1930 and 1960 and the development of science, technology, and graduate program structures during the military dictatorship. In a second phase, it delved into the profile of international flows abroad through quantitative analysis of data on Brazilian sociologists who pursued graduate courses overseas between 1964 and 1985. Finally, it involved 15 interviews with sociologists who completed their education abroad, aiming to identify the factors that influenced these experiences. Firstly, it was evident that global asymmetries in the field of knowledge directly affected the construction of institutions and research projects in social sciences in Brazil during the 1930s and 1960s. The interplay between national and foreign actors and institutions, influenced by categories like "absence," "uniqueness," and "development," solidified relationships of dependence and marginalization in the national intellectual sphere. The development of the national science, technology, and graduate program system was directly influenced by the United States between 1964 and 1975, and the national government's efforts to promote greater scientific and technological autonomy from 1975 onwards failed to break institutional dependencies, resulting in the deepening of cultural and symbolic subordination of the Brazilian scientific community to Northern Global institutions. In the first half of the military regime, foreign funding from institutions aligned with U.S. foreign policy was crucial for pursuing master's and doctoral degrees abroad, with a strong emphasis on the United States. From 1975 to 1985, there was a strengthening of scholarships from national agencies, CAPES and CNPq, but unilateral flow patterns to the center persisted. Furthermore, the research topics of graduate students reflected peripheral patterns of Brazilian academic integration into the global division of intellectual labor, with a predominance of national case studies and guidance based on modernization theories. Common determinants influencing the trajectories of studying abroad included the lack of local access to graduate programs, deference to institutions, authors, and intellectual production from the Northern Global, and gender-related social roles. However, the trajectories between 1964 and 1975 were more dependent on extrainstitutional networks to access predominantly foreign funding, while intellectuals who graduated between 1975 and 1985 were influenced by the greater stability of national agencies, with less direct state repression. The thesis shows the importance of the geopolitics of knowledge in studies of the history of social sciences in Brazil, revealing how global power asymmetries have shaped the development of the Brazilian sociological field.
