"This innovative volume examines the implications of culture for IR and controversially challenges the current dominant ideology of culture in international relations, arguing that - contrary to popular belief, and some prominent international theory - it is not obvious that everyone has culture or even that culture exists. Throwing light on how we should think about people and their differences in the contemporary world, this book will be relevant to everyone working in international relations." "Julie Reeves was recently a Visiting Faculty Fellow in the Faculty of International Relations, Belarus State University, for the Civic Education Project."--Jacket.
