Using a solid theoretical framework, the book Intercultural competences gives students insight into what culture actually entails. The book provides students sufficient tools to interact with all the different cultures worldwide. It also enables them to put things into perspective and position themselves in relation to others with different cultural backgrounds. Through basic concepts, such as values, roles, comfort zones, meaning and context, Intercultural competences highlights what culture is. The book delves into a diverse selection of models that help understand and place cultural phenomena into context. It also provides tools to deal with intercultural conflict.The second edition provides a brief overview of the best known intercultural theories. A distinction is made between scientific and anecdotal models. The Hofstede model is worldwide still the most used and best-known model and is therefore featured in a separate chapter. Richard Lewis's model has faded into the background because of its limited scientific value. Instead, a similar type of model with practical applications has been selected, which does have a scientific background, which is the model of Dingemans & Janssen. In addition, extra subjects are discussed such as cultural identity, inclusivity and diversity.
