Abstract	An introductory essay and an annotated bibliography concerning foreign students are presented in this issue of the Bulletin of the International Bureau of Education (IBE), along with an annotated bibliography on recent publications dealing with educational innovations, which was prepared by the International Educational Reporting Service (IERS), an IBE project. A subject and country index and list of institutions issuing the IERS documents are included. The issue also contains abstracts of documents on educational policy from China and Czechoslovakia by the Co-operative Educational Abstracting Service, also an IBE project. Keywords are provided in addition to bibliographic information and narrative summaries. The essay by Philip G. Altbach, "Introduction: Foreign Students in a Comparative Perspective," covers international student flows, curricular factors and foreign study, the economics and politics of foreign study, and factors in the decision to undertake study abroad on the part of governments, academic institutions, and individuals. Categories included in the bibliography on the foreign student dilemma include: academic experiences and performance, adaptation problems and issues, admissions policies and evaluation of credentials, the 'brain drain' and non-return issues, counseling services and health problems, disciplinary studies, foreign student advisers and personnel, and language issues.
