Modernization theorists assert the positive effects of foreign study and dependency theorists argue that foreign...

Conference participants agreed that Central America, for historic, geographic, economic, and political reasons is of vital interest to the United States and that disengagement is not a viable option. U.S. credibility, in the region and at home, requires a clear set of priorities and...

Basic education is defined as that which meets basic learning needs...
