"An immensely valuable and detailed analysis of foreign, mainly American,                  assistance to Latin American higher education, To Export Progress provides an                  understanding of the 'what' and the 'why' of foreign aid to a key sector. This book                  will be a classic in its field." -- Philip G. Altbach, Monan Professor of Higher                  Education, Boston College"Professor Daniel C. Levy, a leading                  authority in the field of higher education and the nonprofit sector in Latin                  America, once again has opened an otherwise neglected field through his carefully                  researched and reported study of philanthropic support for university reform in the                  region. Drawing on a wealth of archival material, documentary evidence, interviews,                  and first hand experience with the actors and agencies involved, To Export Progress                  illuminates the vision and ideals inspiring international agencies, as much as the                  realities they confronted in deciding on grants and loans policy, from the 1960s to                  the 1980s. The book is strongly recommended for scholars and students of                  international education, for Latin American experts, and for philanthropic managers                  and educational administrators in the developing world." -- Jorge Balan, Senior                  Program Officer for Higher Education, The Ford Foundation.In this                  study of the attempts to export the modern Western university, its ideas, and its                  form to the Third World, Daniel C. Levy examines the development assistance provided                  by the Ford Foundation, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the                  Inter-American Development Bank and their relations with local partners in Latin                  America in the 1960s and 1970s. Levy considers the funders, how they selected                  partners, which countries and institutions were favored, and to what effect. Based                  on meticulous research and careful analysis, the book provides a detailed look at                  philanthropic assistance to the region during the era of modernization and                  development in Latin America.
