Globalisation and Cultural Identity: The Role of Intercultural Dialogue

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Globalisation and Comparative Education

Part of the book series: Globalisation, Comparative Education and Policy Research ((GCEP,volume 24))

Abstract

The chapter explores the nexus between globalisation, intercultural dialogue and the state, against the background of comparative education research and a clash of civilizations. The chapter attempts to answer the following question: How can we contribute to the creation of a more peaceful, equitable, and just society for everyone? Recent global events depicting violence, conflicts, and war, demonstrate the need for a more visible comparative education research, which needs to focus more on emerging significant issues in intercultural and cross-cultural understanding globally. Such a paradigm needs to focus more on emerging significant issues in intercultural and cross-cultural understanding globally, affecting identity politics, liberty and democracy. The chapter argues that a better knowledge of intercultural dialogue could be used as a means for delivering an empowering paradigm of peace and harmony globally.
