Green, Andy. Education, Globalization, and the Nation States. New York: St. Martin's Press, 1997.
Andy Green develops on his earlier historical work on Education and State Formation in a study of education and the nation state in an era of globalization. Education, Globalization and the Nation State offers the first sustained analysis of the implications of globalization for modern education systems. In a series of historical and comparative essays ranging from Europe to America and Asia, Green assesses the changing relations between education and the nation state in different regions, and concludes that the national education system is far from obsolete.

G Kushigian, Julia A., ed. International Studies in the Next Millennium: Meeting the Challenge of Globalization. Westport, CT: Praeger, 1998.
This edited collection examines how international studies fits into the current liberal arts curriculum and possible ways it will be adapted for the next century. The essays seek to link ethical principles to critical skills in international studies, point to trends in current programs, and create a model program. In addition, extensive case studies from American colleges and universities that are at the forefront of the international studies movement are provided. This is a major work of importance to those planning, teaching, and administrating international studies at academic institutions. (from Publisher) |

Too Few Engineers? by Vivek Wadhwa - Duke Magazine, July-August 2006
http://usinfo.state.gov/journals/itgic/0206/ijge/heyneman.htm
Commonly-cited data about the numbers of engineering graduates in India, China and the United States are misleading. A more rigorous comparison provides deeper insight into each country's supply of engineering talent as mentioned in Friedman's book (pages 333-334).
