The Southern Center for International Studies http://www.southerncenter.org/educational_materials.html In today's world, international awareness and an understanding of current foreign affairs is essential for all nations wanting to compete in a global market economy. The challenge for educators and teachers lies in preparing students for this increasingly interdependent world.
