And what it effectively did. It looks both at general trends in that policy and at strategic impetus transmitted by the Foundation to important sectors of intellectual, scientific and economic life.\u003cbr\u003e It falls into two parts both introduced by long chapters and followed by case studies. The contributors analyze the various and complex effects of  cross-fertilization  of learning on the two sides of the Atlantic and reveal that the Ford Foundation did not operate through transplant but mainly as a translator: it favored the strengthening of selective appropriations of American patterns rather than a process of mechanical imitation. The dominant orientation was the internationalization of scholarship and education rather than simply  Americanization . This allows one to question the limits of concentrating exclusively on the notion of Americanization when the forms of cultural transfer are considered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gabriel Fragnière\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9052018022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789052018027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e P.I.E-Peter Lang S.A., Editions Scientifiques\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 442\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Gabriel Fragnière","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48241704141055,"sku":"9789052018027","price":57.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_820fa35b-1610-4457-bff7-b7dc012482cc.jpg?v=1772655582","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ford-foundation-and-europe-gabriel-fragnizure-9789052018027","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
