SCHWARTZMAN, Simon. A universidade primeira do Brasil: entre intelligentsia, padrão internacional e inclusão social. Estud. av. [online]. 2006, vol.20, n.56, pp.161-189. ISSN 0103-4014.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0103-40142006000100012.

THE University of São Paulo is Brazil's leading academic institution in research and graduate education, with an academic production comparable to that of several world class universities according to international analysts. However, it is relatively unknown outside Brazil. This paper examines the reasons for this provincialism and debates whether the University of São Paulo could or should strive to become a world class university and, if so, what are the requirements.
