Hurabielle, Jacques P. E.; Grace, Michael G. A.; Andrews, Michael
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v48 n2 p162-73 Sum 2002

Respondents felt that international education promoted economic growth in Canada and abroad and had positive effects on recipient nations. The shift in intent from altruism to profit generation reflects current neoliberal philosophies. (TD)
