As the ending of the Cold War presents us with a more fragmented world, theory of international relations is growing more aware of its own cultural roots and biases, and so it becoming more sensitive to cultural difference. With the demise of Soviet Union and the bipolar world order, the need to designate "the other" resulted in the specific focus on the difference in cultures of the East and the West, the threat of Islamic fundamentalism and China and the clash of civilizations that characterized "the end of history," On the other hand, due to the globalization of international transactions, people of different cultures were faced with the necessity of negotiating and communicating with one another.
This necessity emanated a range of literature from scholarly to popular writings on getting to know the other cultures and learning different negotiation styles. This paper argues that culture shapes human behavior, attitudes and perceptions as a variable and is, in return, shaped by it through social construction of cultural characteristics, The role of culture in conflict resolution is illuminated in preparing the specific context for the expression of human needs in conflict situations, behavior and attitudes of both the parties and the mediators involved in conflict resolution.
