[...] arguments for and against foreign assistance have permeated the foreign aid intellectual establishment. In today's world, it is not realistic for aid to ever truly go away, simply because its purpose is not always economic growth or poverty reduction and because the political benefits of aid often outweigh its failures. [...] many development actors have decided to refocus their attention on how aid is disbursed and spent.

With its profusion of languages, ethnic groups and regional diversities, with its unique caste system, with its contrast between information technology and industry billionaires and the nearly 300 million people who live below the poverty line, with its mixture of Mahatma Gandhi's nonviolent philosophy and outbreaks of savage communal violence, and with its success as a parliamentary democracy despite having 400 million people who cannot read or write, India remains a bewilderingly complex country. A powerful moral leader as well as a wily politician, Gandhi wanted Indians to be proud of their past, to wear Indian rather than foreign dress, to challenge their colonial overlords through peaceful protest and noncooperation and not through violence, and to eliminate discrimination against...

Regarding the United Nations: Last spring I read that the United States gives $2 billion every year to Egypt as foreign aid, yet that country votes against us 79 percent of the time. India, Pakistan and Jordan do not get nearly as much, but still it runs into many millions of our taxpayers' dollars, and they, too, vote against the United States about three-fourths of the time. I don't suppose the situation has changed much, if any, in the last few months.
I believe in doing good to those that hate us, but not at the expense of our own poor and homeless and not if any friendly nations are not getting their needs addressed first. How many poor of our own country have to choose between food and fuel while we go on feeding the dogs that bite us? If this is our cost for staying in the United...

The number of international students pursuing secondary education at United States (U.S.) universities has been increasing over the past 25 years, and is expected to continue into the foreseeable future. However, these students have a plethora of choices among universities in the U.S. and foreign countries. Universities must distinguish themselves if they hope to obtain the most desirable students from around the world. Previous research by Agarwal and Winkler (1985), Lee and Tan (1984), Mazzarol and Soutar (2002), and McMahon (1992) has identified a number of factors that influence the choice of educational programs. This paper builds on existing research by re-examining some of those factors combined with additional factors and by examining the role of accreditation by The Association...
