This book was released on 1992 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This hearing discusses the profound political changes taking place in the world with the collapse of the Communist governments of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, and the importance of an exchange of students and educational programs among nations in an attempt to promote a new manner of thinking to go along with the new world situation. It is urged that the United States Information Agency (USIA) be strengthened and improved so that it will support the needs of U.S. citizens to understand other nations and their languages. Overseas post support from USIA is critical to maintaining privately funded educational exchanges, including important educational advising services. USIA also traditionally has provided support for research on issues essential to exchange activities. This includes information on the structure of other nations' educational programs, their degrees, and the educational credentials they issue. The information is necessary for the admission of foreign students into U.S. institutions and for the provision of credit for U.S. student academic work abroad. The report consists of testimony on the importance of international educational exchange as new foreign policy funding legislation was discussed. Representatives of USIA testified that the matter of international educational exchange was very important to the Agency, both training students and fostering the true exchange of ideas. Private international exchange groups are faced with new concerns for international citizen and youth exchange in the increased demand from the states of the former Soviet Union and the need to ensure quality exchanges while increasing quantity.

Book excerpt: Exchanges between different cultures and institutions of learning have taken place for centuries, but it was only in the twentieth century that such efforts evolved into formal programs that received focused attention from nation-states, empires and international organizations. Global Exchanges provides a wide-ranging overview of this underresearched topic, examining the scope, scale and evolution of organized exchanges around the globe through the twentieth century. In doing so it dramatically reveals the true extent of organized exchange and its essential contribution for knowledge transfer, cultural interchange, and the formation of global networks so often taken for granted today.

Download or read book Foreign Aid in a Changing World written by Peter Burnell and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 1997-09-16 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An accessible introduction for all social science students A balanced, comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of the issues and trends A guide to the past, present and future of foreign aid Foreign aid has undergone considerable changes over the past fifty years. Foreign Aid in a Changing World explores the changes and locates them in a context of wider economic and political developments. These are the developments affecting all countries, in North, South, East and West, and in particular, the changing relations among them. The book analyses the different reasons why some countries - both in the developing world and former communist states - seem to need assistance. It critically surveys the values-based and interests-based arguments in favour of aid and its many forms; encompasses the important non-governmental and multilateral dimensions, as well as the bilateral flows, at national and sub-national levels; and focuses particularly on the contemporary emphasis on making aid dependent on democratization and 'good government'. Peter Burnell examines the principal influences on foreign aid, what makes aid controversial, and whether it has a future. He provides an important text for all students of international relations and development studies across the social science disciplines.

Download or read book U S Japan Relations in a Changing World written by Steven Vogel and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2004-05-13 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: September 2001 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the San Francisco Treaty, formally ending the Second World War. In signing this treaty, Japan fundamentally transformed its position on the world stage. It established itself in the vanguard of the burgeoning cold war bulwark against the Soviet Union and its communist satellites, and wed itself to the United States through economic, political, and security ties that persist today. The half century since the establishment of the San Francisco system has seen highs and lows in the relations between the two countries, continuing even into the current war on terrorism. This new book evaluates the changing relationship between the two great powers, providing in-depth analysis on a variety of topics. It scrutinizes the historical context, providing the reader with predictive tools for understanding events as they unfold. Instead of looking at the U.S.-Japan relationship one issue at a time, this book examines specific trends and then analyzes how these trends affect the relationship as a whole. This innovative approach allows the reader to view several perspectives simultaneously, and it compels the contributors to assemble clear causal arguments that detail what each factor can and cannot explain. The result is a cogent and convincing appraisal of the status and future of U.S.-Japan relations after fifty years of peaceful coexistence.

Download or read book University Expansion in a Changing Global Economy written by Martin Carnoy and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-17 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a study of higher education in the world's four largest developing economies—Brazil, Russia, India, and China. Already important players globally, by mid-century, they are likely to be economic powerhouses. But whether they reach that level of development will depend in part on how successfully they create quality higher education that puts their labor forces at the cutting edge of the information society. Using an empirical, comparative approach, this book develops a broad picture of the higher education system in each country in the context of both global and local forces. The authors offer insights into how differing socioeconomic and historic patterns of change and political contexts influence developments in higher education. In asking why each state takes the approach that it does, this work situates a discussion of university expansion and quality in the context of governments' educational policies and reflects on the larger struggles over social goals and the distribution of national resources.
