The Applicability of Hofstede's Theory Within International Relations

Abstract

The proposal I am launching within the current research is linked to the sphere of international relations, more precisely, to the understanding of certain actions performed by the states by a cultural point of view. Considering this aspect, I shall employ comparative analysis and case study as research methods. Concerning both, the incipient proposals are the analysis of the factors leading to a conflict and, at the same time, the possibility to have avoided that conflict, from the perspective of Hofstede’s theory.
