The Center for North American Studies, Frankfurt, and the Institute for
Cultural Diplomacy, Berlin, invite proposals for a symposium dedicated
to the study of the role of culture in international relations. Possible
themes include the social and psychological structure of diplomacy; the
demise of the West as a center of cultural diplomacy; the role of NGOs
and private individuals in the making of an international order;
longterm strategies and developments of cultural relations; and
competing visions of modernity.

Culture and International History III will take place at the University
Frankfurt am Main (Germany) from December 19 to 21, 2005. The city
features several operas, theaters, a historical district and a large
downtown shopping area besides many seasonal attractions. It is easily
accessible by airplane, train or car. Frankfurt airport is the second
largest in Europe and the central hub for numerous international
airlines. Participants arriving from overseas will fly into Frankfurt
airport, then take the train and subway to campus.

To be fully considered proposals must arrive by Friday, March 11, 2005.
Proposals should include: paper title and abstract, and a one-page vita
of the participant. Proposals for panels will likewise be considered
(chair/commentator, three panelists). Pending approval, speakers may
apply for funds to help defray their travel costs and accommodation.
Participants who have an interest in the topic and would like to attend
the conference without delivering a paper are welcome and should
likewise contact the organizers. The conference fee is Euro 40 per
person and includes participation, snacks and beverages. The costs for
accommodations in a nearby hotel range between Euro 45 and Euro 90 per
