That is, a broad and empirical portrait of the growing global interested in liberal arts and sciences education. Where does liberal education exist around the world and how might its emergence differ from region to region? What can be gleaned about liberal education's contemporary chronological development that informs our understanding of its function and future? In what format are liberal arts initiatives evolving? What are the similar and diverging characteristics of programs and institutions? What are the rationales for developing new programs? What is there growing global interest in liberal education and why now? This discussion offers a global profile--a foundation--on which policy makers, institutional leaders, and scholars might situate individual liberal education initiatives. Throughout, the story raises challenging questions about the meaning of the data, and in conclusion, critical considerations for liberal education's impact on access and equity, cultural hegemony, and neoliberal tendencies worldwide.

As the state divests itself of its control over industry, the products of privatized businesses, while more competitive than their antecedents and likely of better quality, must reach their markets, both at home and abroad, quickly and efficiently in order to maintain their newfound competitiveness. The importance of transportation privatization in the developing world should not be underestimated. Recent estimates by the World Bank report that these emerging market economies are anticipating growth of approximately 6 percent per annum versus 2.5 perc...
