Based around themes including tourism, migration, protest, display of cultures, and the examination of 'mega-events' like the Olympics, the book explores the ways in which people were able to experience other cultures from 1945 onwards. The author questions the impact of these encounters, discussing whether they led to cultural hybridity or contrastingly, divergence. By bringing together a selection of themes and considering their national and transnational impact, this textbook provides insights for those studying international politics and global history. At a time when globalism is questioned by politicians and campaigners, this timely book examines its impact on groups of people and the systems under which they live.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Nicholas Barnett has written a fresh, postwar global history book that one wants to read. \u003cem\u003eCultural Encounters \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003ein the Age of Globalism\u003c\/em\u003e explores how disparate societies around the world interact with one another, for better or for worse.
