This chapter is concerned with the international culture of society. The culture of a society is the totality of all the processing of society's total social process, the imagination of its imagining, and the reason of its reasoning. In the culture of international society, humanity comes face to face with humanity as a self-transcending and self-judging totality.Less

This chapter focuses on international law’s relationship with culture and law and development. It gives reasons why law and development avoids critical appraisal of cultural norms. and makes the case for a culturally informed law and development framework, arguing that law and development must part ways with the acultural roots of international law. It discusses scholarly disciplines that establish a link between cultural norms and economic development. The chapter looks at how social capital and cultural resources may be used to facilitate economic development through rotating credit associations and ethnic economies. The chapter then focuses on ways cultural and ethnic resources have been deployed to facilitate market development. It also explores the relationship between culture and human rights, specifically, women’s rights. The chapter canvasses international human rights and feminist approaches to culture to demonstrate that culture cannot be severed from issues related to women’s equality.Less

Bull argued that in European international society, the ‘diplomatic culture’, the common stock of ideas and values the representatives of states shared had been strengthened by an ‘international political culture’, the intellectual and moral culture that determined societal attitudes towards the states-system. With the expansion of international society, he contended, the diplomatic culture had lost much of its earlier foundation in the normative commitments specific to European international society. It was conceivable, Bull argued, that a new ‘cosmopolitan culture’ will succeed in binding peoples together in the first universal society of states. To consider those issues further, this essay draws on Elias’s writings to show how conceptions of ‘civilized manners’ and ‘civilized’ statehood linked the international political and diplomatic cultures. The discussion also considers some recent writings on the civilizational dynamics of world politics that have special relevance for Bull’s reflections on how those two cultures might develop in future.Less

This book examines the significance of traumatic experiences both in the individual lives and works of artists and in contemporary international cultures since World War II. The book considers some of the most notorious art of the second half of the twentieth century by artists who use their bodies to address destruction and violence. The chapters in this book focus primarily on performance art and photography. From war and environmental pollution to racism and sexual assault, the book analyzes the consequences of trauma as seen in the works of artists like Marina Abramovic, Pope.L, and Chris Burden. Assembling rich intellectual explorations on everything from Paleolithic paintings to the Bible's patriarchal legacies to documentary images of nuclear explosions, the book explores how art can provide a distinctive means of understanding trauma and promote individual and collective healing.Less

Ralp Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau are the most celebrated odd couple of nineteenth-century American literature. Appearing to play the roles of benign mentor and eager disciple, they can also be seen as bitter rivals: America's foremost literary statesman, protective of his reputation, and an ambitious and sometimes refractory protege. The truth, this book maintains, is that Emerson and Thoreau were complementary literary geniuses, mutually inspiring and inspired. This book focuses on Emerson and Thoreau as writers. It traces their individual achievements and their points of intersection, arguing that both men, starting from a shared belief in the importance of “self-culture”, produced a body of writing that helped move a decidedly provincial New England readership into the broader arena of international culture.Less

Political activism acquired an international dimension in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, as ideologically committed individuals followed developments elsewhere, made choices in the light of experience elsewhere, and forged fraternal links with the like-minded in other states. There were many reasons for activists to travel, political and otherwise; political changes that sent waves of exiles into the wider world were one contributing source. In the post-Napoleonic era, restrictions on political activity encouraged the establishment of secret societies to support national or international networks; fearful officials probably exaggerated their real potential to leverage change, though they did play some role in revolutions of the 1820s, and later. From the 1830s, the consolidation of some liberal regimes increased space for open forms of political activity. As a self-consciously ‘democratic’ challenge to narrower forms of liberalism took shape, an international democratic culture began to form, supporting the construction of a canon of democratic gurus and heroes.Less

International arbitration has developed its own culture but that culture is not representative of the culture of all users of international arbitration. Contrary to what is commonly suggested, it has not developed a common culture—what it developed is a culture of ignoring other cultures. This has become a question of legitimacy. The summary of conclusions succinctly presents the core arguments of the book in this regard. It returns to the question of how despite five decades of international arbitration, the process is still dominated by an elitism that excludes arbitrators from developing nations on the grounds that they are still not ready to take on the tasks of an arbitrator.Less
