Part of a series that is centrally concerned with analyzing relationships between globalization processes and cultural patterns and developments from varied perspectives in the social sciences, arts, humanities, and in policy-making circles, this volume's thematic focus is on conflicts and tensions. Anheier (public policy and social welfare, U. of California at Los Angeles, US) and Isar (cultural policy studies, The American U. of Paris, France) first present six chapters that explore broad approaches to cultural conflict, followed by reviews of cultural conflict in Africa, the Arab world, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and China. Seven chapters explore "fault lines" between North and South, between the West and the Middle East, within Islam, within US-European relations, and between secularism and religion. Migration and cultural conflict is considered in case studies of the United States, Argentina, and Malaysia. Remaining chapters explore culture as a tool of conflict prevention and resolution and specifically address performance and conflict resolution in Sri Lanka, performance of justice and reconciliation in Rwanda, drums as cultural mediators in the slums of Brazil, and Citizens' radio stations in Colombia as a means of moving from conflict to discourse. The above-mentioned chapters take up about half of the volume's bulk. The other half is given over to the presentation of colorful statistical tables and charts dubbed "indicator suites," that provide additional information on, broadly speaking, social and economic aspects of culture; cultural sites, events, and flows; and political systems and culture.
