International History: A Cultural Approach
Akira Iriye (Harvard University, USA),Petra Goedde (Temple University, USA)
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.
