Culture and Trans-Border Cooperation in the Age of Globalisation
Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defence of peace must be constructed. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks on WTC and the growing economic interdependence argues for the cultural cooperation among nations. The concepts like Globalisation, economic interdependence, international community, the World Government and World Civilization have inspired us to bring peace, harmony and love among different communities and nation-states. Only culture and cooperation among cultures can bring peace, stability and development in the world. Trans-border cultural cooperation refers to promote the exchange of ideas, skills, arts and information across national boundaries. Globalisation, however, compels cultures to be integrated for the sake of human civilization. UNESCO has been given the central role among the United Nations agencies for the promotion of Trans-Border Cultural Cooperation.
