Reviews

'So far, students of culture in international politics have mostly focused on how culture raises boundaries and how cultural differences bring about conflicts. This volume provides a more balanced perspective. While acknowledging its boundary-raising function the authors also examine how culture builds bridges among peoples. This insight makes an important contribution to the debate.' Petr DrulA!k, Institute of International Relations, Czech Republic 'At a time when practitioners and academics alike seek answers to the question of how culture works, or could be put to work, in the politics of the EU, this book revisits the question itself in a more vigorous and critical manner. The outcome is an exciting contribution to a whole range of contemporary theorising: from European Studies to the aesthetic turn in International Relations theory.' Alexander Astrov, Central European University, Hungary 'Off the beaten path, this refreshing set of essays makes a strong case for the study of culture, as a broad concept, in European and EU international relations. The book helps to widen the horizon of students of international relations and Europe's role in it, which makes it a most welcome contribution.' Jan Melissen, Netherlands Institute of International Relations Clingendael and Antwerp University, and Co-Editor of The Hague Journal of Diplomacy
