The World through Our Eyes: A Collaboration of Essays by International Students (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780595288311)

Since the end of the Cold War the world has become a different and increasingly volatile place, where our lives are ever more intertwined with the lives of others around the globe; a world of rising terrorism, of clashing cultures and religions, of expanding multi-national corporations, of economic volatility, environmental damage and much, much more.

These changes have brought rise to problems that we can no longer push aside. A new generation of international students, brought together by arguably the top two international student conferences in the world, the ISC-Symposium and the World Business Dialogue, seek to spark discourse and action, to confront and address these problems.

In The World through Our Eyes, students voice their concerns and pose potential solutions. A 'world's eye view' from an insider's perspective, these unique viewpoints range from an essay on Swiss banking by a Swiss banker, to a history of women in India by an Indian woman, to poverty in Kenya by a Kenyan national.
