Wars in Syria, Ukraine and Gaza, tensions between China and the USA, the relationship between the Global South and the Global North: Although the creation of organisations such as the United Nations and the European Union appeared to usher in the age of multilateralism, world politics remains largely shaped by inter-state relations.
For this reason, KULTURAUSTAUSCH keeps tabs on how states relate to each other, exploring what shapes foreign policy and the role played by political, civil society and cultural exchange - in the form of academic or international development cooperation or artistic projects.
