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.

Multiplicity of international cultures

The culture is normally understood as the combination of certain mental or physical creations designed by a number of people residing on a certain geographical territory. However, at the present period it happens so very often that culture of some group of people operating at the level of the village, tribe, local region, city, nation, state, and civilisational groupings comes to be opposed to the set of individual values. What to do in that kind of situation then?

An individual personalized in the person of any human is the most precious and reliable value. He is the foundation of any group or collective state-system is in such a need of, that is a family, a company, a parish, etc. No wonder most of European states, for example, pay more attention to taking care of an individual much more than even the smallest collective. A man is the basis for any group and not the other way round!

From another point of view, how well do governments and systems of international governance cope with widely diverse cultural systems in the context of an individual human? This has led to tensions in globalisation, disputes over the pursuit of human rights, the maintenance of concepts of a truly just and international law, and even within countries serious debates about pluralism, multiculturalism, national culture and interpretations of history. Alternative models of cultural accommodation, options such as multiculturalism, political pluralism, the promotion of cosmopolitanism, verses the protection of a core national culture, remain hotly debated in countries such as Australia, France, PRC (People's Republic of China), the US and Russia.
