- Summary:
-
The values and norms of Western law are not universally accepted as basic values and norms in other cultures. Therefore, the contractual processes of Western law should not be considered the basic foundation for all foreign policy negotiations. In Western cultures, principles of law are differentiated from other values based on religion, ethics, social tradition, or political power. This differentiation does not exist in other cultures, but many American foreign policies reveal a lack of awareness of this cultural diversity. United States policies would be more realistic and successful if U.S. decision-makers had more understanding of intercultural communication and were more aware of the basic values and modes of thought that are predominant in other cultures. This requires more accurate perceptions of the cultural foundations on which other nations and societies are based, a condition which can be met only with intercultural research and comparative studies in communication.
