The Accent of Success

A Practical Guide for International Students

With the population of international and immigrant students in the United States on the rise, "The Accent of Success" is a timely complement in helping students adjust to the academic and social environment of American colleges and universities. A first of its kind, "The Accent of Success" is based on psychological theories and research. The authors not only have demonstrated their knowledge of the American system of higher education and opportunities that international students have in the United States, but also have presented anecdotal, empirical, and theoretical evidence of various factors that stand to either impede or facilitate student adjustment and, thus, academic success, all the while making the information accessible to the students on a practical level. "The Accent of Success"offers: Real world perspectives of what international students can expect to experience in their pursuit of higher education in the United States Accurate information related to obtaining visas, entering the United States, and maintaining legal status An effective resource to deal with issues related to cultural adjustment for international students Realistic presentations of important cultural aspects of American life Useful overviews and descriptions of the system of higher education in the United States.

Can Nations Agree?

Issues in International Economic Cooperation

In the age of Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, a new international trade in industrial and human waste, the depletion of the ozone layer, and the greenhouse effect, the importance of international cooperation is supremely evident. In the economic arena, such problems include speculative instability in financial and primary commodities markets, competition in tax regimes, and the greatly enhanced scope for tax evasion. Can Nations Agree? examines the crucial issues surrounding international cooperation-- conditions that foster cooperation toward common goals; ways to handle the friction arising from conflicting goals; and the structures that best promote cooperation. Although nations recognize the value of cooperation in an independent world, a variety of conditions inhibit the process. In recent decades the number of independent nations has risen rapidly, and so has the variety of decisionmakers and national interests to be reconciled. At the same time, the economic power of the United States has declined in relation to other successful capitalist countries. In the chapters on the 1978 Bonn economic summit, German macroeconomic policy, international cooperation on public health issues, and hegemony and stability, the scholars contributing to this volume analyze the history and process of international cooperation to offer fresh insight for future efforts.
