Overview

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.

Reviews

A brilliantly conceived book that reshapes the field of international history. Incisively illuminating a breathtaking array of international developments across the world over two centuries, this tour-de-force decisively demonstrates that culture is not an adjunct to international relations but is always constituent of it. * Barbara Keys, Author of Reclaiming American Virtue: The Human Rights Revolution of the 1970s *
