	TheEdge: What is Intercultural Relations ? (definition)
		In this framework, intercultural relations is the community of scholars who identify with various social science disciplines, but share a common interest in studying the interaction of people from different cultures.
		Intercultural studies are studies that focus on the interaction two or more cultures and answer the main question of what happens when of two or more cultures interact (at the interpersonal level, group-level or international level).
		Intercultural interaction is an example of such a human act that can be, and should be, viewed from a variety of disciplinary perspectives.

	Towards a constructive pluralism: Synthesis
		If cracks in intercultural relations are simply papered over, conflicts which were thought to have been long since buried have a tendency to burst through at the most unexpected moments.
		Furthermore, this metaphor suggests an instrumental use of intercultural relations and the possibility of reducing a complex, subtle, set of human relations to the status of an object which can be manipulated according to the will of a few more or less well-intentioned politicians.
		Intercultural reconciliation is achieved by the necessary acceptance of an often painful truth, by victim and tormentor alike.

	Intercultural Personhood: A 'Mainstream' Australian Biographical Case Study
		This thesis explores the question of intercultural personhood in two 'mainstream' Australian cases within interpersonal, intercultural relations in Australian contexts in the second half of the twentieth century.
		Bourdieu's (1984, 1987) cultural, relational sociology is coupled with Harré's (1983, 1993, 1998) theory of personal and social being in that it brings together the individual and the society in a way which proves fruitful for ongoing analysis of the biographical data collected within the communication and psycho-social framework of the earlier research.
		Taking this critique of biography into the study of interpersonal, intercultural relations meant a shift from the communication interactions and psycho-social analysis undertaken to an analysis of the various social constructions evident within the elements of the life account and a search for the cognitive imprint of social structures as durable dispositions within the persons.

	Muzafer Sherif: Light From Psychology on Intercultural Relations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		It is the functional relation of the group structure and its particular standards rather than any formal pronouncement of aims that is the crucial factor.
		Since in-groups are often related to many other groups, a set of attributes and characteristics is standardized for each of them on a scale ranging from positive to negative.
		Once the scale is learned and accepted as a basis for defining the individual's position in relation to others, increased contact with members of groups lower in the scale, information about them, or educational attempts to alter the prejudice., simply have no power to affect it.

	Pacific Region Forum: Intercultural Relations in Educational and Military Settings
		The second is an examination of intercultural relations in the Canadian Forces (both Regular and Reserve): how do members of the CF learn to live with the new "diversity imperative" they face, both in Canada and internationally?
		There are good reasons for these recent changes: Canada participates in many international arenas, some of them involving the CF (e.g., peacekeeping, protecting and delivering humanitarian assistance, operations with forces of allied countries); these all require an understanding of, and acceptance of, other cultures and their ways of living.
		In both institutional settings, movements are clearly toward promoting more positive intercultural relations; however, there are clear discrepancies between the eventual goal, and the current situation.

	Fostering Intercultural Harmony in Schools: Research Finding
		Easing strained intercultural relations and fostering more positive interaction among diverse groups in educational settings have been the focus of considerable work on the part of many legislators, educators and citizens.
		As a prelude to analyzing the effects of activities aimed at improving intercultural relations, it is important to establish what is meant by "culture" and what kinds of groups count as "cultures" in the context of the literature.
		The tightest correlation in the research base on intercultural relations is that between positive self-regard and positive regard for those who are culturally different from oneself (Byrnes 1988; Garcia, Powell, and Sanchez 1990; Hart and Lumsden 1989; Mabbutt 1991; Pate 1981, 1988; Peck, Donaldson, and Pezzoli 1990; Walsh 1988).

	In-Awareness Approach
		The goal of the in-awareness approach is to expose hidden cultural assumptions and expectations that plague international public relations and allow one to explore national and cultural differences between clients and practitioners in a systematic and non-threatening manner.
		The goal of intercultural communication research was to identify culturally-mediated phenomena that were “out-awareness” and bring them “in-awareness.” By bringing aspects of culture “in-awareness,” the many distortions and misunderstandings that plague cross-cultural communication could be explained and even compensated for.
		In international public relations, the culture-specific approach is very much exemplified by the studies Culbertson termed “comparative public relations.”[3] These comparative studies describe the public relations practices in different countries and geographic regions.

	Cross-cultural communication - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cross-cultural communication (also frequently referred to as intercultural communication) is a field of study that looks at how people from differing cultural backgrounds endeavour to communicate.
		The field has also moved both toward the treatment of interethnic relations, and toward the study of communication strategies used by co-cultural populations, i.e., communication strategies used to deal with majority or mainstream populations.
		There is a move to focus on 'cross-cultural interdependence' instead of the tradititional views of comparative differences and similarities between cultures and cross-cultural management is seen as a form of knowledge management.
