    For Asia I believe Indira Ghandi and the Open University of Hong Kong offer DL programs using the English language.

    How about in South America?

    The South American programs are almost exclusively Spanish-speaking. You may want to ask Jimmy Clifton about one of the rare exceptions.

    The Asian programs do indeed exist and seem to use English as a language of instruction. However, they are not universally accessible. The last time I checked you had to be either living in the respective country or a citizen of that country living abroad. That's good for many, no doubt, but little help for most people on this forum.

    I would be interested to see a list if you ever compile one.

    Hi:

    CLACSO offers an Online Masters degree in Social Theory and Methodology. Scholarships available.

    The diploma is "awarded by CLACSO along with well known universities in the region", according to their web site.

    FLACSO Argentina offers an Online Masters degree in Gender, Politics and Public Policy.

    I'll write about programs offered in Cuba later.

    Good luck,
