The foreign policy of every democratic cannot but take into account the characteristics of culture of neighbouring countries when reaching decisions in foreign affairs, especially during times of crisis and wars.
It is no secret that countries have always been involved in active cross-cultural exchange though family, political and economic ties. In this way, every state advanced own language, culture, religion and so on.
It's a well-known fact that INGOs played and continue playing one of the major roles in building IR. There have been created hundreds of INGOs in the course of two past centuries aimed at providing a better international communication.
Sooner or later, but it is nearly every state that has to make a choice between own self-identity and collective values. The thing is, nowadays the world is strictly divided into certain political and economic zones that profess own cultural worthies.
The issue of 'cultural appropriation', where cultural elements are taken from the context of their society and reused in a new context, often as part of an academic or commodified 'product' is a phenomenon that happens more often than not.

Cultural Diversity and Assertions of Culture

Cultural diversity is regarded as one of the most fundamental achievements. In our turn, we are all to preserve current cultural richness not only for ourselves but for descendants. We must be all proud of Egyptian pyramides, Indian Taj Mahal or Roman Coliseum. Naturally, all these pearls have to protected at the international level. As a consequence, several key issues emerge from the enormous cultural diversity of civilisations, societies, and sub-communities around the world. Cultural extinctions have been occurring at a rapid rate over the last three thousand years, especially as small societies are destroyed, transformed or incorporated by more powerful groups. In the past, the formation of extended territorial kingdoms and empires were the main driving force for this. Today, the main driving forces seem to be the formation and incorporative processes of modern nation-states, transnational economic flows, and the modernising forces of globalisation.

Under linguistic estimation, some 200 languages in Africa are on the edge of dying-out.

In the same way as disappearance of one biological species in wild nature leads to the disappearance of many others, immense migration, total famine, disasters, etc that take place throughout the world destroy deciles of unique cultures and languages that may not return to life tomorrow.

For example, the European Union has argued that its diversity of languages is both a problem and a resource, and that economic efficiency can be developed while protecting a range of different subcultures and unique heritages in Europe. The cultural and linguistic diversity of Europe, alongside its competitive state-system, may have helped drive forward the Renaissance and the Industrial revolution, in contrast to the more unifying and ultimately more stagnating state of knowledge in late Imperial China, especially in the late 19th century.
