The increasingly volatile social, cultural, and political environment in the United States has made it difficult for U.S. institutions of higher learning to retain and integrate international students, especially those from East Asian countries. Drawing upon social identity theory and the acculturation process, this study explored how college sport contributes to international students' university identification using narrative interviews with East Asian international students who attended college football events at a U.S. university. Findings revealed that international students identified with their co-national peers for socialization purposes at football events and identified with the football spectator subgroup through the influence of domestic students, which contributed to university identity. Theoretically, our research highlighted the dynamics between sport identification, university identity, and acculturation by showing how college sport spectatorship can foster university identification but also create cultural distance within the university community. Findings also offer practical guidelines on how universities can use college sport to initiate organic social interactions between students from different cultures and empower international students to identify as essential members of universities.

This article analyses the provisions of the Indian Constitution and federal laws, which give mandate to the Parliament and the Executive to enter into and give effect to international treaties. It will be underlined, in particular, that Indian practice is characterised by a certain ambiguity, which is ultimately caused by a lack of coordination between the Indian Legislature, Executive and Judiciary. The paper argues for a coherent and aligned approach amongst the various branches of government in relation to international law, and in particular treaty law. To this end, it will conclude by analysing the measures recently suggested by the Parliamentary Standing Committee Report, which would rectify the legal inconsistencies in Indian law related to the treatment of International Treaties.

The post-Korean War reconstruction of North Korea was the most ambitious multilateral development project ever undertaken by the socialist countries during the Cold War. It was the first & only time the USSR, China & the Soviet-aligned states of Eastern Europe & Mongolia cooperated economically on such a large-scale venture, & thus the historical high point of 'international socialist solidarity'. Yet, the strains in the Sino-Soviet relationship were already apparent during the reconstruction effort itself, & North Korea reacted against its overwhelming dependence on foreign assistance with a determined turn towards self-reliance. Ironically, multilateral cooperation on North Korea's reconstruction contributed significantly both to the end of the Sino-Soviet alliance & to North Korea's autarkic development path, which it has pursued until the present time. 3 Tables, 50 References.
