The Other Alliance $24.95 Using previously classified documents and original interviews, The Other Alliance examines the channels of cooperation between American and West German student movements throughout the 1960s and early 1970s, and the reactions these relationships provoked from the U.S. government. Revising the standard narratives of American and West German social mobilization, Martin Klimke demonstrates the strong transnational connections between New Left groups on both sides of the Atlantic. Klimke shows that the cold war partnership of the American and German governments was mirrored by a coalition of rebelling counterelites, whose common political origins and opposition to the Vietnam War played a vital role in generating dissent in the United States and Europe. American protest techniques such as the “sit-in” or “teach-in” became crucial components of the main organization driving student activism in West Germany–the German Socialist Student League–and motivated American and German student activists to construct networks against global imperialism. Klimke traces the impact that Black Power and Germany’s unresolved National Socialist past had on the German student movement; he investigates how U.S. government agencies, such as the State Department’s Interagency Youth Committee, advised American policymakers on confrontations with student unrest abroad; and he highlights the challenges student protesters posed to cold war alliances. Exploring the catalysts of cross-pollination between student protest movements on two continents, The Other Alliance is a pioneering work of transnational history. |

Study Abroad Progams
Being an exchange student is an exciting yet challenging venture. For starters, you get to spend about 10 months to a year abroad; on top of that you have the opportunity to perfect a foreign language, have plenty of people to meet and places to go, and experience the sounds, sights, and flavors of a new culture. On the other hand, traveling overseas or even to a place closer to home entails the hassles of packing, shipping, relocating, and all the red tape that accompanies the process.
Here's the good news, however: today's travel industry has changed the business of international travel forever, making your experience that much easier and enjoyable. The shipping industry, specializing in worldwide shipping and servicing individuals and businesses alike, is booming! {Simply choose between one of several topnotch international shipping companies and they will make sure that all your belongings arrive safely and swiftly to your final destination Internationals shipping companies specialize in the safe and expedient transport of people's belongings, servicing lay people and students like yourself as well as businesses who ship massive machinery and equipment. No matter what you need to ship - suitcases, a trunk, a piano, furniture, or your favorite sports car or motorcycle - global shipping firms will quote you their best rates and often provide door-to-door pickup and delivery.
As an exchange student, you might be shipping to France, Germany, Italy, Spain, or China. You can ship basically anything, including your sports gear, golf clubs, favorite musical instruments, antique car, and even the kitchen sink! And don't forget to make use of the wonders of modern technology by using online shipment tracking to track your belongings en route.
As an exchange student you might be participating in a Foreign Exchange Student program or in what is called a Study Abroad program. The programs are similar in most respects, however an exchange student studies in an institution that is the partner of his/her home country school, while a study abroad student studies in a non-partner institution.
How does one become an exchange student? Don't start packing your bags unless you have about a 3.0 GPA or excellent academic records as the programs making their selection choose only the best of the best students. As an exchange student you represent your home school as well as your country, hence the study abroad authorities are very selective and screen applicants carefully to make sure they are serious individuals who will maximize this learning opportunity.
If your grades are good, the next step is to fill out an application, after which you may have to pass some tests (i.e. language skills tests) and will be called for an interview. In fact, some programs interview each foreign student applicant several times in order to get a good feel for the student's character. To be selected, you must exhibit a fine character, no cultural biases, an ability to adapt to new situations, and a mind that is open and eager for a thriving cultural experience.
The competition in this business is fairly fierce, with many students applying for a limited amount of spaces. But if you hone up on your language skills and have exceptional grades to back you up, you are likely one big step closer to packing your bags, booking your flight (or hopping into your SUV or RV), and embarking upon the journey and experience of a lifetime!
