  • The US has two main institutions to expand its empire, the Defense Department and the State Department. Most of the entries in this Wiki deal with the State Department. It is obvious that the Defense Department is the first instituion to go in and conquer a country, but it is less obvious what the State Depaartment does to try to govern that country. Often what the military does (the Defense Department) is called "hard power" and public diplomacy (what the State Department) does is called "soft power." However, within the Defense Department and the State Department are English language training programs. For the Defense Department they take the form of the Military Language Insitute and its other training schools for foreign military officers. Other Defense Department institutions include: * Monterey Language Institute * Defense Language Institute Board of Visitors * School of the Americas * Overseas military bases and schools * Troops to Teachers Program For the State Department, it mainly comes in the form of Fullbright Scholars who are brought to universities in the US on Fullbright Scholarships witht their expenses all paid for. Other State Department institutions include: * United States Information Agency * America Embassies * Regional English Language Officers * English Language Specialists * English Language Forum Magazine * Education and Culture Bureau (the E Bureau)
