A three-year grant from CIBE has provided much-needed support for our research project, "Globalization and Competition." As the only scholarly research that directly examines the impact of contemporary (private) international cartels on developing countries, it has received considerable attention in international-policy circles. It has already resulted in a book chapter, and an article in the Antitrust Law Journal. More publications are forthcoming.

The Centers for International Business Education and Research (CIBERs) were created under the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 to increase and promote the nation's capacity for international understanding and economic enterprise. Administered by the U.S. Department of Education under Title VI, Part B of the Higher Education Act of 1965, the CIBER program links the manpower and information needs of U.S. business with the international education, language training, and research capacities of universities across the U.S. Thirty-one universities were designated as centers that serve as regional and national resources to business, students, and academics. Together, the CIBERs form a powerful network focused on improving American competitiveness and providing comprehensive service and programs that help U.S. business succeed in global markets.
