The publication marks a ten-year effort in the study of cultural impacts on international relations. Culture as a variable constitutes a cutting-edge research area in the study of international relations. The book has much to do with theoretical analyses in cultural studies, for instance, the global cultural trend formed by globalization, international collectivism and international cooperation, implications of cultural understanding, misinterpretation and distortion on international relations, interaction between culture and international institution and values and regional cultural identity.
