Combining the perspectives of 18 international scholars from Europe
and the United States with a critical discussion of the role of
culture in international relations, this volume introduces recent
trends in the study of Culture and International History. It
systematically explores the cultural dimension of international
history, mapping existing approaches and conceptual lenses for the
study of cultural factors and thus hopes to sharpen the awareness
for the cultural approach to international history among both
American and non-American scholars. The first part provides a
methodological introduction, explores the cultural underpinnings of
foreign policy, and the role of culture in international affairs by
reviewing the historiography and examining the meaning of the word
culture in the context of foreign relations. In the second part,
contributors analyze culture as a tool of foreign policy. They
demonstrate how culture was instrumentalized for diplomatic goals
and purposes in different historical periods and world regions. The
essays in the third part expand the state-centered view and retrace
informal cultural relations among nations and peoples. This
exploration of non-state cultural interaction focuses on the role
of science, art, religion, and tourism. The fourth part collects
the findings and arguments of part one, two, and three to define a
roadmap for further scholarly inquiry. A group of" commentators"
survey the preceding essays, place them into a larger research
context, and address the question "Where do we go from here?" The
last and fifth part presents a selection of primary sources along
with individual comments highlighting a new genre of resources
scholars interested in culture and international relations can
consult.
