International History
A Cultural ApproachInternational History: A Cultural Approach offers an innovative history of modern international relations that stresses cultural themes.

Among the themes covered are: – Nationalism and cosmopolitanism – Migration – Cross-cultural encounters – Consumerism and youth cultures – Environmental transformations – Economic and technological globalization Akira Iriye and Petra Goedde’s approach offers a deeper understanding of international history, focusing on people and their cultures rather than just state level interactions.
