Abstract:

It is increasingly important in our globalised world for people to
successfully manage interpersonal relationships. This is the first book to
tackle this vital topic, by taking an interdisciplinary approach to exploring
the process of relating across cultures. Drawing together key concepts from
politeness theory, intercultural communication, and
cross-cultural/intercultural psychology, it provides a robust framework for
analysing and understanding intercultural encounters.  It explores the ways in
which individuals make judgements about others, deal with offence and
conflict, maintain smooth relations, and build new relationships. These
processes are explained conceptually and illustrated extensively with
authentic intercultural examples and empirical data. With accessible
explanations and follow-up activities, it will appeal not only to academics
working in the areas of intercultural communication, pragmatic theory,
conflict research and other related academic disciplines, but also to students
of these topics, as well as professionals such as intercultural trainers and
those working in the third sector.
