Muller Itis not often that a diverse set of organizationscan rightfully claim parentage of a publication with a gestation period ofa decade and a half. But such is the situation with this book. As officers of the National Councilon Foreign Language and International Studies, wewere pleased to preside over the project that produced these essays. Followinga key tenet in our activities, the National Council always worked in concert with otherorganizations to promote the internationalization of American education. In separateoverview chapters, editors Sven Groennings and David Wiley note the contributionsof the Council on Learning and the President's Commissionon Foreign Language and International Studies toward setting the stageon which the disciplinary associations were able to commission theessays that follow. The editors elucidate as well the curricular debates that occurredon campuses and in associations, in which the advocates of international educationsaw two alternatives: the addition of courses within each disciplineto specifically address international dimensions of the disciplineor the infusion of international content in key courses. The journals of the disciplinary associations reflect their members'corporate sense of important issues. If articles
