Politics and Culture in International History illumines world politics by identifying the causes of conflict and war and assessing the validity of schemes for peace and unity. Bozeman maintains that political systems are grounded in cultures; thus  international relations are by definition hitercultural relations. She deals exclusively with the thought patterns of the worlds literate civilizations and societies between the fourth millenium B.C. and the fifteenth century A.D. In a substantial new introduction  Bozeman analyzes world politics over the last half century  showing how the interplay of politics and culture has intensified. She notes that the worlds assembly of states is no longer held together by substantive accords on norms  purposes  and values  but by loose agreements on the use offorms  techniques  and words. The causes and effects of these changes between the 1950s and 1990s are assayed by Bozeman.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648097345589,"sku":"ByrdShop_1560007354","price":41.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781560007357.jpg?v=1781709401","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/politics-and-culture-in-international-history-9781560007357","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
