If the cultures and value systems of the developing world are being challenged -- or are believed to be under threat - I think it valuable to try to identify the nature of the challenges. For the sake of discussion, I would put the major issues under the headings of language, institutions, people, communications, and funding.
Remarks by His Highness The Aga Khan For The White House Conference on Culture and Diplomacy - 2000-11-28
