- Cultural
Internationalism and World Order (Albert Shaw Memorial Lectures)
- Akira Iriye / Hardcover / Published 1997 - - - As the nineteenth
century became the twentieth and the dangers of rampant nationalism became
more evident, people throughout the world embraced the idea that a new
spirit of internationalism might be fostered by better communication and
understanding among nations. Cultural internationalism came into its own
after the end of World War I, when intellectuals and artists realized that
one way of forging a stable and lasting international peace was to encourage
international cultural exchange and cooperation. In Cultural
Internationalism and World Order, noted historian Akira Iriye shows how
widespread and serious a following this idea had. He describes a
surprising array of efforts to foster cooperation, from the creation of an
international language to student exchange programs, international lecture
circuits, and other cultural activities. But he does not overlook the
tensions the movement encountered with the real politics of the day,
including the militarism that led up to World War I, the rise of extreme
strains of nationalism in Germany and Japan before World War II, and the
bipolar rivalries of the Cold War. Iriye concludes that the effort of
cultural internationalism can be appreciated only in the context of world
politics. A lasting and stable world order, he argues, cannot rely just on
governments and power politics; it also depends upon the open exchange of
cultures among peoples in pursuing common intellectual and cultural
interests. A KEY TEXT - belongs on every serious scholar's
mind and shelf.
