Opis

Since 1990s we observe an increased in interest in culture of international relations. We explore terms such as multiculturalism, cultural differences and specific regional values, and their correlation to international issues. Facing the challenges of an increasingly complex world the existence of cultural commonalities and universal values all cultures share and intercultural sensitivity within groups surfaces the way for acceptance and tolerance of other cultures and allows members to be open to values which are universal among all groups, such as law and justice, which globalized society should then build upon together. Diplomats are not the only actors involved in the diplomatic process because due to globalization, many actors such as NGOs, international organizations and individuals can be seen practicing diplomacy.

O autorze

Kamsaris, DimitriosGlobalization requires governments to operate in a context different than before, which is to integrate other participants of diplomacy in its own decision-making processes by focusing on new strategies, such as involving non-state actors and institutions, providing greater transparency, and acting collectively.
