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.

The Culture in International Relations

Needless to say that nowadays International Relations are of key importance in all aspects of living, including politics, economy, business and even private life. So, it is no surprise that culture is one of those numerous fields that have a direct influence on the direction and progress rate of the development of International Relations. The point is the humankind has accumulated a great stock of differential knowledge that is widely used at present period. It's applied to construct pragmatic International Relations that would let any and all countries and/or civilizations exist on our planet. Being one of the richest domains of gained human experience, culture is one of those few drives that may help modern world order not only survive avoiding any serious military conflict but also attain the highest pitch of perfection. In fact, modern global culture has affluence on principal values, world-views, and the structure of human relationships. If viewed on the basis of casual approach, the culture is just a collection of both material and non-material things that appear to be the result of people's activity but everything's much more serious. In modern world, culture proves to be the whole set of religious, traditional, ritual and behavioural experience that either unites millions of people on the same grounds or divides them in the way that may have fatal consequences.

Actually, International Relations are not to be viewed in non-cultural aspect. All the military, political, diplomatic, whatever clashes are resolved in strict accordance not only to the present cultural position of this or that region but also to the corresponding historico-cultural features of the given territory. If taken all the basic religions for example, most of them have been secluded up to the twentieth century arriving to be certain geographical territories populated by large groups of people that confessed the only religion. It may referred to both Christianity and Islam, for instance. As in the former case it is only in the second half of the twentieth century would non-Europe nations be recognized as fit to join the club of recognized European players. For a long time in Islam there was a recognition of a zone of peace, the Dar al Islam surrounded by a potentially hostile Dar al-Harb, the zone of non-believers where there were high levels of conflict. At the present time, both religions seem to be open international communities in which cultural attributes remain to be of crucial importance.
