National interest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The national interest, often referred to by the French term raison d'état, is a country's goals and ambitions whether economic, military, or cultural. The notion is an important one in international relations where pursuit of the national interest is the foundation of the realist school. In early human history the national interest was usually viewed as secondary to that of religion or morality. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/National_interest   (402 words)

National Interest Waiver National interest is in improvement of the economy based on cutting edge technological advances and financial benefit to the US economy by transfer of this new technology to industry. National interest was met by showing contributions to the cultural interest of the US in Europe and South America, improving US education and youth programs, and improving the environmental consciousness and economy by making US art more accessible and valuable to European and South American artists and art institutions. Establish that the petitioner is not seeking a national interest waiver based on a shortage of qualified workers in a given field regardless of the nature of the occupation. www.mcneela.com /NIW.htm   (1498 words)

The National Interest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The National Interest is not restricted in content to “foreign policy” in the narrow, technical sense, but attempts to pay attention to broad ideas, and the way in which cultural and social differences, technological innovations, history, and religion impact the behavior of states. The National Interest is a prominent quarterly international affairs journal, founded in 1985 by Irving Kristol and currently published by the Nixon Center. In 2005, a number of members of The National Interest's editorial board led by Fukuyama, claiming to be upset by the Nixon Center's changes to editorial policy, decided to leave the journal and create a rival publication, The American Interest. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/The_National_Interest   (289 words)

National Interest National interest and public interest, as claimed, should not be confused with the self-interest of individuals. To illustrate: we may agree it's in the national interest to expose corruption in government; but at a given moment, a government representative may argue to a journalist that a given exposé should at least be delayed "in the national interest". The dichotomy between national interest and public interest does not mean that the two are contradictory, nor does it mean that the state is necessarily anti-people or that the people are necessarily anti-state. www.relia.net /~thedane/cw_national_interest.html   (336 words)

National Interest Waiver However, the national interest waiver applicant needs to show to the INS that a waiver of such requirement would be indeed in the interest of the United States and therefore, such application shall not subject to the usual labor certification requirement. National Interest Waiver-based permanent residence application is in the category of Second Employment-Based Preference and this preference usually requires a job offer. An individual who is applying for an National Interest Waiver application does not have to have an advanced degree when he or she can show "exceptional ability". www.jamesxu.com /national_interest_waiver_info.html   (603 words)

CHANG & BOOS - NATIONAL INTEREST WAIVERS However, in the case of a physician for whom a national interest waiver was filed before November 1, 1998, the AG shall approve the waiver as long as the physician has worked in the shortage area or VA facility for at least three years (not including time as J-1). While the national interest waiver hinges on prospective national benefit, it clearly must be established that the alien's past record justifies projections of future benefit to the national interest. Although neither the Immigration and Nationality Act ("INA") nor the regulations of the Immigration and Naturalization Service ("INS") define the term "national interest", supplementary information to the INS regulations implementing the Immigration Act of 1990 ("IMMACT 90") state that the application of this test should be as flexible as possible. www.americanlaw.com /niw.html   (997 words)

Foreign Affairs - Campaign 2000: Promoting the National Interest - Condoleezza Rice The "national interest" is replaced with "humanitarian interests" or the interests of "the international community." The belief that the United States is exercising power legitimately only when it is doing so on behalf of someone or something else was deeply rooted in Wilsonian thought, and there are strong echoes of it in the Clinton administration. In a democracy as pluralistic as ours, the absence of an articulated "national interest" either produces a fertile ground for those wishing to withdraw from the world or creates a vacuum to be filled by parochial groups and transitory pressures. American foreign policy in a Republican administration should refocus the United States on the national interest and the pursuit of key priorities. www.foreignaffairs.org /20000101faessay5/condoleezza-rice/campaign-2000-promoting-the-national-interest.html?mode=print   (6551 words)

VISA SPOTLIGHT: NATIONAL INTEREST WAIVERS - February 1997 A national interest waiver is actually a waiver of the normal EB-2 category requirement to obtain a labor certification from the US Department of Labor documenting that there are no US workers qualified and available for a permanent position offered by an employer. The national interest waiver has been a popular path to lawful permanent residency over the last few years because of a very high approval rate and because of the attractiveness of avoiding the labor certification. One issue that arises not infrequently in national interest cases is what to do when an employee changes employers after initial approval of a national interest waiver, but before the applicant receives permanent residency. www.visalaw.com /97feb/15feb97.html   (1418 words)

Europhobia: The national interest Were you to have asked a German in 1943 whether it was in the national interest for their country to lose the war and end up occupied by their enemies for nearly half a century, they would almost certainly - and understandably - have answered in the negative. It may be in the interest of the state to, for example, create an immense biometric database to enable government to keep track on the people, or to remove the right to a trial to enable it to lock its citizens up at will. The thing that really matters is surely what is in the interests of the people, not the state, for it is the people who form the nation. europhobia.blogspot.com /2005/01/national-interest.html   (5908 words)

Stephen M. Walt: In the National Interest Click here to return to the New Democracy Forum “In the National Interest.” All nations retain the option of using force if their vital interests or survival is threatened, and America’s enemies are well aware that the United States might use force first if its own security were at risk. But putting preventive war at the heart of its national security policy made the world’s most powerful country seem eager to use force—at times and places of its own choosing—whether a genuine threat of attack was actually present or not. www.bostonreview.net /BR30.1/walt.html   (7951 words)

Secrecy and International Relations For example, Anderson notes that government officials may be motivated by parochial bureaucratic factors, interest group pressures, or other political considerations; however, the accepted standard of bureaucratic discussion does not permit officials to frame their arguments in terms of these things and, instead, demands that the national interest be invoked to justify all foreign policy. Realists would argue that such classification was intended to serve the national interest, since the radiation experiments being described were vital to national security and -- in the context of the Cold War -- it was sometimes necessary to undertake actions that conflicted with ordinary conceptions of morality. it is this commitment to the national interest that motivates them to mislead the public and to conceal information. www.fas.org /sgp/eprint/gibbs.html   (9010 words)

The National Interest by Gene Callahan There is no sort of calculus by which one could tally up the "net interest" of all the people in a nation and arrive at some coherent meaning for "the national interest" conceived of as a device to be employed by utilitarian judgments. The first is that the idea of "national interest" is incoherent. When would-be planners promote the idea that some scheme is in the "national interest," what they mean is that it is in their interest. www.lewrockwell.com /callahan/callahan110.html   (1158 words)

DLC: National Interest by Marshall Wittmann Particularly now that the nation is at war, there is a need for a politics that transcends narrow, self-interested partisanship. While we are burdened by the costs of war and an ever-growing national debt, Congress indulges in parochial spending projects and tax cuts for the comfortable. Both the Democrats and the Republicans sometimes seem more focused on appeasing their respective bases than serving the overall interests of the nation. www.dlc.org /ndol_ci.cfm?kaid=127&subid=173&contentid=253227   (1124 words)

The Choices Program Defining the National Interest By defining the national interest for themselves, students will begin to understand not only what their options are, but the core values and assumptions that are the foundations of those options. Traditionally this phrase is used to define a situation in which a nation feels it must intervene militarily, as opposed to national interest where the nation feels military force is debatable. They should attempt to reach a consensus on the term “national interest.” At the conclusion of the group exercise, each group should put its list and a definition on the board. www.choices.edu /additional_materials.cfm?id=8   (1251 words)

The Hindu : CRICKET TELECAST AND `NATIONAL INTEREST' In the international context where sports is the driver for pay channels, Doordarshan should have bid properly for rights to telecast sporting events of interest to India rather than seek to override international agreements on the grounds of national sovereignty and public interest.

TNI - Back Issues Archive of The National Interest Yet Jacksonian opinion saw no threat to the interests, as it understood them, of the United States, and Wilsonians were the only segment of the population that was actively eager for war. It was in this capacity that Andrew Jackson was elected to the presidency, and the role has since been reprised by any number of politicians on both the local and the national stages. Not all of the martial patriotism in the United States comes out of the world of Jacksonian populism, but without that tradition, the United States would be hard pressed to maintain the kind of international military presence it now has. denbeste.nu /external/Mead01.html   (12163 words)

There Are No Moderates: Dealing with Fundamentalist Islam - article by Daniel Pipes Today, the Left consists of the odd shipwreck of a regime: the FLN (National Liberation Front) in Algeria or a General Dostam in Afghanistan.

Airstrip One: British foreign policy as if the national interest mattered In order to prevent this, the European Parliament has proposed that most European of instruments, a Directive, setting out rules for national defence procurement that will ensure national interests are discounted - presumably in favour of a common foreign and security policy. The National Audit Office report has highlighted the disparate stories of unpreparedness on the part of the armed forces and placed them within one framework. It is in Britain's interests that they prove true to form and continue to promote the Constitution, as this will provide us with the opportunity to hold a referendum on Europe. airstripone.blogspot.com   (5568 words)

THE WORLD TRADE CENTER BOMB: Who is Ramzi Yousef? And Why It Matters - The National Interest, Winter, 1995/96 Questions of state sponsorship that are of pressing interest to national security agencies are typically relegated to a distant second place, or never properly addressed at all, because the national security agencies are denied critical information. It is of considerable interest, therefore, that a very persuasive case can be made that Ramzi Yousef is an Iraqi intelligence agent, and that his bombing conspiracies were meant as Saddam Hussein's revenge for the Gulf War. After Yousef s arrest, a National Security Council staffer confirmed to me that Yousef had indeed fled from the United States through Baluchistan. www.fas.org /irp/world/iraq/956-tni.htm   (7399 words)
