The cultural imperialism argument of the media's power to construct national identity is reconsidered through case study analysis of the media's role in the formation of Indian national identity. This argument suggests that the globalization of the media programming will inevitably lead to a one-world culture & the evisceration of national identity. It places the media at center stage & views national identity as a residual. Analysis of national identity formation in India reveals a different process. The convergence of power asymmetries & modes of domination within the Indian nation-state produced an exclusionary model built on Hindu middle- & upper-class privilege & access to resources, allowing elites to cement their own power. The introduction of foreign programming to India in the 1990s undermined TV as a state control apparatus; it revealed the Indian crisis of representation, setting the stage for the production of different notions of nation & national identity.

This study also assumed that, if entrepreneurial education is to be used to define the country's developmental efforts towards a sustainable future, the focus must be on the youths, to whom the future belongs. Therefore, even with the fact that certain policies on education in universities emphasize skills, vocational and technical education, the need for real orientation of concerned institutions towards building entrepreneurial mindset is in the youths. In this study certain theories on entrepreneurial education and development are considered, while often-encountered challenges of entrepreneurial education and their way out are highlighted.

The purpose of the article is to investigate the influence of international documents on the process of internationalization of higher education and to identify political, legal, organizational, financial pre-requisites for internationalization of higher education in Lithuania. Method of comparative critical analysis of references was employed for the study. Therefore, this paper aims at investigating the influence of international documents, related to internationalization of higher education and at identifying political, legal, organizational, financial prerequisites for internationalization of higher education in Lithuania. The study showed that the scope and content of internationalization may be conceptualized as having several tiers: macro, mezzo and micro. Macro tier assigns higher education with the role to contribute to positive developments in society and economies, to democracy and cohesion. Mezzo tier assigns higher education with a task to provide students with high level educational services in order to help graduates to acquire necessary competencies. Micro tier assigns higher education institutions with task to organize their activities in order to secure achievement of tasks at mezzo and macro tiers. In Lithuania both idea and purpose of internationalization gained support by general public, national authorities and authorities of individual higher education institutions. The numbers of students incoming and outgoing of Lithuania in the framework of Erasmus program is increasing but the negative difference between the outgoing and incoming Erasmus students could be addressed by the Lithuanian authorities. Its negative influence is outweighed by the steadily increasing number of foreign students coming to study to Lithuania without any supporting exchange programs.
