China Comes Home: The Re-integration of China into the World Economy

This paper examines changes in the Iranian educational system implemented by the Islamic theocracy of Ayatollah Khomeini and his religious followers in the decade after the Revolution overthrowing the Shah. The study demonstrates weaknesses in the theoretical literature on development and education because of its inability to anticipate people in a developing nation empowering a government controlled by religious leaders. Religious values dominate this society and they have significantly altered Iranian education in terms of who teaches; how political/religious ideology, gender roles, and other subjects are taught; who attends schools; and consequentially, these affect Iran's literacy rates.     

Regionalism,environment and Southern African class struggles∗

“In late April, 1992, the Malaysian government hosted an inter‐ministerial meeting for governments of the South in preparation for the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in June. This would have been a praiseworthy initiative if not for the government's dismal record on environmental issues, especially on tropical timber logging. However, the government‐controlled media went out of its way to give the opposite impression in the weeks prior to the conference — just as it did before the 1989 Commonwealth Heads of Governments1 Meeting and other international forums.”     

Vietnam: Approaching the Asian‐pacific century with confidence

It has been twenty years since the fall of Saigon to Northern Communist forces on 30 April 1975. From that time, Vietnam has slowly, but steadily clawed its way back into the international mainstream, a trend prompted by the revival of the Vietnamese economy which has gained strength from a movement away from Communist economic ideology. The author, who recently paid an extensive visit to Vietnam, examines the process of development and the opportunities and difficulties that arise from it.
