An Offshore Campus is a franchised operation that a tertiary or higher education institution creates in order to expand its operations beyond the borders of where it is mainly based, often with the bidding of the host country s government. The theory behind this idea is the provision of a tertiary institution s programs to potential students, through direct contact with the tertiary institution s own faculty and with its own facilities, rather than surrendering the responsibility to private offshore course providers who may offer courses approved by rival institutions. Setting up an Offshore Campus also allows potential students to study for an institution s program at a much lesser cost than studying in the country where the institution is located. Many American, Australian, British and Canadian tertiary institutions have used this model to expand their operations overseas, particularly in Asia and the Middle East .

Citations missing article date March 2011 Offshore radio is radio broadcasting from ships or fixed maritime structures, usually in international waters . The claimed first wireless broadcast of music and speech for the purpose of entertainment was transmitted from a Royal Naval craft, the HMS Andromeda, in 1907. The broadcast was organized by a Lieutenant Quentin Crauford using the callsign QFP while the ship was anchored off Chatham in the Thames Estuary, England. The majority of offshore broadcasters have however been pirate radio stations using seaborne broadcasting as a means to circumvent national broadcasting regulations, for example the practice has been used by broadcasting organizations like the Voice of America as a means of circumventing national broadcasting regulations of other nations. Most offshore broadcast is usually associated with European pirate radio stations, as the trend never caught on as much in the United States. Most organizations that could afford an offshore broadcasting boat would instead buy a legal station. Still, there were a few American offshore stations that made a lasting impression. The first station to broadcast in the U.S. from international waters was off of the coast of California in the 1930s. ref Yoder, Andrew R.

Unreferenced date February 2008 Offshore balancing is a strategic concept used in Realism in international relations realist analysis in international relations . The term describes a strategy where a great power uses favored regional powers to check the rise of potential hostile powers. It arguably permits a great power to maintain its power without the costs of large military deployments around the world. It can be seen as the informal empire analogue to federalism in formal ones for instance the proposal for the Imperial Federation in the late British Empire It was primarily used during the Cold War between the US and Soviet Union. According to political scientist John Mearsheimer in his University of Chicago American Grand Strategy class, offshore balancing is the strategy used by the United States in the 1930s and also in the 1980 1988 Iran Iraq war. Mearsheimer argues that when the United States gave Lend Lease aid to Britain in the 1930s, the U.S. was engaging in offshore balancing by being the arsenal of democracy, not the fighters for it. This is consistent with offshore balancing because the U.S. initially did not want to commit American lives to the European conflict. The United States supported the losing side Iraq in the Iran Iraq war to prevent the development of a regional hegemon , which could ultimately threaten U.S. influence. Furthermore, offshore balancing can seem like isolationism when a rough balance of power in international relations exists, which was the case in the 1930s.
