Abstract
To justify the inclusion of a chapter on the impact of student exchange on national stereotypes and attitudes in a book on conflict, two assumptions have to be made that are deceptively plausible. First, it has to be accepted that stereotypes and attitudes play a causal role in creating, maintaining, or aggravating intergroup conflicts. Second, it has to be assumed that student exchange typically changes stereotypes in ways that improve the sojourners’ attitudes towards the host nation and thus serves a function in conflict reduction.
