This book stimulates discussions on cultural and educational
exchanges between rival states and societies, raises awareness of
the potential positive and negative impacts of such exchanges, and
serves as a basis for future research and program design. Cultural
and educational exchanges in various forms have existed for
millennia. Yet it was not until the unprecedented human devastation
of two world wars catalyzed a sense of urgency around the world
that a new era of cultural and educational exchange programs
emerged as a means of easing tensions between rival states and
societies. This book is motivated by the need for critical research
that can contribute to building a more comprehensive understanding
of the issues at stake. It begins with a historical overview of
cultural and educational exchanges between rival societies, an
assessment of their positive and negative impacts, and a review of
some of the most prominent theories in relevant fields. It then
presents a diverse set of case studies, in which authors consider
not only the real or expected benefits of such exchanges but also
the potentially negative impacts, challenges faced along the way,
and broader effects on the rival societies at large. The states and
societies considered include North Korea and the West, Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Israel and the Palestinian territories, India and
Pakistan, China and Taiwan, Cuba and the US, and China and the US.
Taken together, the chapters demonstrate that exchanges have
observable impacts on the individuals and institutions involved.
Moreover, they reveal that exchanges have the capacity, in some
cases, to affect broader social and political change at the family,
community, society, or state level, but these impacts are indirect
and typically require long-term concerted efforts by those
involved.
