Summary:

Only recently has an increasing interest (re-)emerged in how world politics is affected by collectively shared perceptions, norms and beliefs among cultures. Culture in World Politics contributes to this development by presenting a variety of ways in which the roles of cultures in world politics can be studied. A major aim of the book is to highlight alternative ways of thinking about the effects of culture on international relations, and to stimulate discussion on the relative merit of these various approaches. The book also shows the relevance of cultural studies for understanding two areas often assumed to be free of cultural influences: international violence and the international political economy. The book is a sequel to the special issue of Millennium: Journal of International Studies entitled Culture in International Relations. It contains four revised articles from the special issue and combines these with six new essays.
