...These borderless B schools underscore a broader educational trend. Universities are now the fifth largest U.S. exporter of services abroad--topping entertainment and health care--and raked in $10 billion last year. In the past two years, Duke University's Fuqua School of Business in Durham, N.C., has opened an outpost in Frankfurt, Germany, while Harvard has established research facilities in Hong Kong and Buenos Aires. And in April, Cornell announced that it would open a branch of its medical school in Qatar...
...difficult to regulate access to technology or its use. The nature of the Internet - borderless, fast, atomized, anonymous - works against the state's traditional grip on power. According to international press monitor Reporters Sans Frontieres, 20 governments now significantly restrict Internet access. But Web users can easily use "anonymizer" sites to circumvent the blockers and surf freely and in secret. "Our technology restricts the ability of governments to censor the Internet," says Stephen Hsu, founder and CEO of an anonymizer called SafeWeb, from where users can load a tool for blocking traces onto their browser windows before they begin surfing...

In burgeoning numbers and with astounding ease, young adults in Europe are hurdling national barriers, dumping old routines and abandoning traditional career choices in search of their own, highly personalized, custom-made paths to happiness. And for many, that means leading peripatetic, borderless lives that would have been unimaginable a generation ago. All of this is forming the basis for a common European identity in which national and regional ties co-exist with a new and still evolving ésprit de Europe...
...their own citizens but also for the health of the global soul. Annan believes that nothing--particularly not state borders--should stand in the way of intervention. He believes that the old orthodoxy that states can do as they please behind their borders is nonsense in a world of borderless information and travel and communication. He has boiled down his thinking to a simple idea--call it the Kofi Doctrine--which has a chance of becoming as elemental to this century as the Truman Doctrine was to the last: Sovereignty is not a shield...
