International History: A Cultural Approach offers an innovative
history of modern international relations that stresses cultural
themes. In place of the usual focus on great-power rivalries,
diplomatic negotiations, military conflict, and other phenomena in
which sovereign nations are the key players, this book focuses on
intercultural relations as individuals, races, religions, and
non-state actors interact across national boundaries, to provide a
fresh perspective on modern international history. Among the themes
covered are: - Nationalism and cosmopolitanism - Migration -
Cross-cultural encounters - Consumerism and youth cultures -
Environmental transformations - Economic and technological
globalization Akira Iriye and Petra Goedde's approach offers a
deeper understanding of international history, focusing on people
and their cultures rather than just state level interactions.
