"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.

Levy, a leading authority in the field of higher education and the nonprofit sector in Latin America, once again has opened an otherwise neglected

"A trailblazing account of the transformation of Latin American society and politics by nongovernmental organizations over the past quarter century. This examination of the nonprofit sector, and its interaction with the for-profit and public sectors, highlights the importance of private research centers (PRCs) within the nexus of higher education and nonprofit privatization policies. Author argues that PRCs perform many important tasks in the process of development, particularly in the areas of private finance, international philanthropy, market mechanisms, and nongovernmental policymaking. Well researched with a useful bibliography on the subject"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57
A significant aspect of the massive growth of private higher education is the near disappearance of public monopoly. Almost all countries now have both public and private sectors of higher education. The decline of public monopoly has been notable for decades, the demise of Communism providing the most impactfulmoment. The remaining monopoly presence is mostly in small systems, often with rather left-leaning political regimes. In several of these countries, activity to end public monopoly is already underway.

Latin America's nonprofit research centers have a major impact on politics and society as well as on academia. Crucial to this impact is the central nonprofit challenge of attracting sufficient, stable income. The centers have done a remarkable job of building a novel and increasingly diversified income profile. This profile ruptures the region's statist tradition as it rests on voluntary giving, markets, an evolving private-public mix, and pluralism.

Conventional development models refer to two sectors, public & for-profit private. Massive growth of nonprofit private activity undermines that picture. Latin American think tanks exemplify a nonprofit privatization that has an enormous impact on development & remolds intersectoral relationships overall. Four major dynamics acount for the spectacular growth of the region's nonprofit think tanks. Three push factors are state repression, state weakness, & public university problems, &, as epitomized by financial supply, a pull factor is also crucial to attract nonprofit growth. To conceptualize these findings, public failure theory is considered. Unhelpful regarding the pull factor, the theory otherwise works reasonably well, especially where there is visible movement from the public to the nonprofit sector. Beyond that, the evidence suggests ways to broaden the theory. Even a broadened formulation cannot fully capture the remarkable diversity & vitality of the growth in Latin America's think tanks. But the key growth factors that blend together to produce particular institutional & national configurations can be identified & analyzed. 53 References. Adapted from the source document.
