The rise of non-Western Great Powers, the spread of transnational
religiously-justified insurgencies, and the resurgence of
ethno-nationalism raise fundamental questions about the effects of
cultural diversity on international order. Yet current debate -
among academics, popular commentators, and policy-makers alike -
rests on flawed understandings of culture and inaccurate
assumptions about how historically cultural diversity has shaped
the evolution of international orders. In this path-breaking book,
Christian Reus-Smit details how the major theories of international
relations have consistently misunderstood the nature and effects of
culture, returning time and again to a conception long abandoned in
specialist fields: the idea of cultures as coherent, bounded, and
constitutive. Drawing on theoretical insights from anthropology,
cultural studies, and sociology, and informed by new histories of
diverse historical orders, this book presents a new theoretical
account of the relationship between cultural diversity and
international order: an account with far-reaching implications for
how we understand contemporary transformations.
