The four objectives of the project are: o To increase the information on model programs available to all institutions through the ERIC system o To encourage the use of the ERIC system by AASCU institutions o To improve AASCU's ability to know about, and share information on, activities at member institutions, and o To test a model for collaboration with ERIC that otht,r national organizations might adopt. The AASCU/ERIC Model Programs Inventory Project is funded with a grant from the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education to the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, in collaboration with the ERIC Clearinghouse onHigher Educationat The George Washington University. ABSTRACT The West Virginia Consortium for Faculty and Course Development in Interna- tional Studies (FACDIS) is a Consortium of 21 West Virginia institutions of higher education.* The purpose of FACDIS is to assist in international studies course development, revision, and enrichment; to help faculty remain current in their fields and in new instructional techniques; to provide printed and audio- visual instructional materials throughout the State; to increase study abroad opportunities for students; and to provide professional development opportunities for public school teachers responsible for classes with international content. Over 250 foreign language faculty and social scientists teaching international studies to more than 6,000 students throughout West Virginia participate in the many projects which FACDIS sponsors.Original funding of these projects was made possible by a three-year grant (1980-1983) of $199,000 frun the US Department of Education Undergraduate International Studies Program. The grant ended June 30, 1983. Since the conclusion of this federal grant, the Consortium has been supported by the West Virginia Board of Regents, West Virginia University, and participating institutions in the Consortium. In 1987-88, $63,794 was provided by these sources. The Central Office for the Consortium is located at West Virginia University. * INSTITUTIONS PARTICIPATING IN FACDIS Alderson-Broaddus College Bethany College Bluefield State College Concord College Davis & Elkins College Fairmont State College Glenville State College Marshall University Parkersburg Community College Potomac State College Salem College Shepherd College Southern West Virginia Community College University of Charleston West Liberty State College West Virginia Institute of Technology West Virginia Northern Community College West Virginia State College West Virginia University West Virginia Wesleyan College Wheeling Jesuit College 4 The West Virginia Consortium for Facalty and Course Development in International Studies FACDIS Introduction Established in 1980, FACDIS is a consortium of 21 West Virginia institutions of higher education including universities, four-year colleges, community colleges, public and private. Over 250 foreign language and social science faculty teaching international studies to more than 6,000 students throughout West Virginia participate in FACDIS projects. FACDIS is truly interdisciplinary with 62 historians:33 political scientists, 16 economists, 14 geographers, 30 sociologists/anthropologists, 62 foreign language faculty, and 40 "miscellaneous" (religion, art, education, English, etc.). The purposes of the Consortium are numerous: to assist in international studies course development, revision and enrichment; to help faculty remain current in their fields and new instructional techniques; to provide printed and audio-visual instructional materials through- out the State; to increase study abroad opportunities for students; to maintain strong communication links among the faculty and to respond to their requests for information and assistance; and to provide professional development opportunities for public school teachers responsible for classes with international content. Support for FACDIS comes from various sources. Originally launched with a three -year $199,000 grant from the US Department of Education Undergraduate International Studies Program, FACDIS' main budgetary support now comes from the West Virginia Board of Regents, the governing board for all public institutions of higher education in the state. In addition, each institution contributes an annual membership fee of $150 as well as travel support for faculty to attend our Annual Workshops. Finally, West Virginia University makes a substantial contribution: a full-time Administrative Assistant, office space, and other 2 essential administrative and practical support.All special projects are funded by external grants. In addition to the full-time Administrative Assistant, the FACDIS staff consists of two Co-Directors who alternate as the active executive, a half-time secretary, and a faculty member/study abroad coordinator who divides his time between West Liberty State College and West Virginia University. The organiza- tional structure of FACDIS consists of a Council of Institutional Representatives from every member institution; a Steering Committee of six members-- chosen by lot from the 21 member institutions; and a Study Abroad Council with members from each institution. In 1987, FACuIS was awarded the G. Theodore Mitau Award for Innovation and Change

BOOK REVIEW What Went Wrong With Perestroika By Marshall I. Goldman. New York: W. W. Norton & Co., 1991. Pp. 238. John T. Shaw* There is no shortage of intriguing issues for political analysts to pon- der as they attempt to understand the tumultuous years during which Mikhail Gorbachev governed the Soviet Union and then presided over its disintegration. Soviet withdrawal from Eastern Europe and the rapid, astonishing unraveling of the vast multinational empire are among the most signifi- cant events of the twentieth century, and Mikhail Gorbachev, the archi- tect and victim of reform, is likely to endure in the public mind as the prototypical tragic figure: a talented, complex, compelling man who was devoured by a revolution he began. Fundamental questions about the Gorbachev era abound. Was there ever a chance that the Soviet Union Gorbachev inherited in 1985 could be reformed? If reform was possible, did Gorbachev fail because his vision was flawed or

PERESTROIKA AND PRIRODA: ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IN THE USSR Nicholas A. Robinson* I. Introduction Environmental protection is becoming a substantial field of endeavor today in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Soviets know the environment as priroda, a word which is literally translated as "nature," but whose meaning encompasses all aspects of life within the biosphere. Priroda connotes "mother nature," a nurturing and even moral realm, while also suggesting the ambient environment and all ecolog- ical systems." Protection of the environment has been elevated to a top priority in the Soviet Union because the Soviet's harm to prir'odathroughout that nation has become acute.2 In order to reverse pollution's environmentally- damaging trends, to stay the depletion of natural resources and to restore de- graded conditions resulting, from years of neglect during, the heavy and rapid industrialization in.

Bush’s administration, relations between Washington and Moscow are back to the point where they started, the Cold War. Public debate has clear ideas about where to attribute the blame: to Putinism with its emphasis on an authoritar- ian and interventionist state and the overweening self-confidence of the energy bully, on the one hand, and to Bushism with its militarized endeavours to mould a world in its own democratic image, on the other. However both these represent an inadequate simplifica- tion of the actual complexity, which does not sufficiently take into account the vacillations of the Bush administration, swinging between the realism of Bush’s father and the liberal internationalism of his predecessor turned neo-conservative, or the interaction between Washington and Moscow. This swing towards emphasizing democratic values may well make the increasing es- trangement appear more plausible. But in actual fact Bush’s policy towards Moscow, just as Clinton’s before him, consisted of a contradictory and changeable amalgam of values and interests. The most obvious constant feature in the Bush administration, in contrast to Clinton’s, is the malign neglect of Russia.

INTRODUCTION The Russian Bear is stirring from a long winter's nap, and to the surprise of the western world, is showing a new, friendly smile. The rea- son for the changed appearance, according to its new masters, is the effect of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) now sweeping Rus- sia. These changes are so broad and fundamental that they stir world speculation and hope that the cold war may be ending." The principal author of these changes is Mikhail Gorbachev who, in March, 1985, became General Secretary of the Soviet Communist Party.' Since his appointment as Party General Secretary, Gorbachev has star- tled the world with a dazzling succession of new plans and proposals aimed at slowing the arms races, democratizing Soviet society," reforming * Harold E.
