At the beginning of the third century, culture has been one of the central topics of many humanities disciplines, including sociology, anthropology, economics, political science, and international relations. As a result of globalization, political, economic, social, and cultural relations have intensified around the world, and distant societies have become closer to each other. Therefore, culture is in many ways the most direct, obvious, and tangible element experienced in the daily lives of human societies.
This importance has led to the relationship between culture and various domains, including economic and political power, becoming evident at the international level and becoming the focus of attention for researchers in international politics and international relations.
Most sources in the field of international relations, influenced by the main approaches of the field of international relations, realism, idealism, neorealism and neoliberalism, have studied international developments more from a security, political and economic perspective; and have evaluated issues less from a cultural perspective.
While in order to better understand international affairs, attention should also be paid to its cultural aspects. Because in many cases, evaluating international issues from a cultural perspective facilitates the understanding and comprehension of world affairs. On this basis, the present study is trying to study and evaluate the main theories of international relations from a cultural perspective.
