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 notion of "Internationalism"

Analyzing the concept of 'internationalism' in the sphere of culture, we must admit that this notion is extremely broad and serves to be one of the general foundations for the idea of International Relations. Nevertheless, it has has cultural features, which find expression in new and vigorous institutions. There turn out to be two fundamental approaches towards this comprehension if taken from cultural side, one pragmatic, the other ideal: -

- a pragmatic impulse coordinates international activity as global interactions expanded. It includes such international projects as developing a system of passports and postage as well as much more complicated challenges that are international networks of ports, railways and roads that allowed trade to flourish.

- an ideal one regulates the system of artificially-designed interests and ideals, an imagined world order in which these interests and ideals would overcome differences and antagonisms among nations. The ideal method mainly serves to create a category of would-be face-values that do not work out often.

The currently-used concept of cultural internationalism and universal civilization is mostly the product of Western civilization, and tended to develop as Western nations expanded and reached out to control much of the globe. What's more, present cultural theories of international relations have been actively formed in the course of permanent All-European wars for the last three centuries are inclined to be highly Eurocentric proving an ambiguous sense of 'internationalism' itself.
