There's no 'research' on something like this.

Randomly select 10 countries outside of the Anglosphere and Europe, then go through their top 10 universities' political science faculties (if they even have any) and see where they got their PhDs from (if they even have one). You will find that there's very few people with PhDs from US institutions - and in the case that there are, they are very likely natives that went to the US and came back. You may find the odd university or two that is an exception, but not much outside of that.

You just gave me a good idea. It would be a suitable topic for research if we can get other variables (literacy rate, GDP, GNP, or investments). 
I hope I can proceed to graduate school next year. Perhaps you can research with me? 
I have a reliable connection to people in two developing countries. And I have been researching for years in my undergraduate and senior year in high school.
