3.4 Cross-cultural or Intercultural Studies?

Cross-cultural and intercultural studies should not be seen as contradictory but complementary ways of trying to investigate intercultural communication. In order to understand the complexities of the interplay of culture and communication, various approaches and multisource data is needed.

Intercultural Communication is an interdisciplinary field of study. This involves dialogue between practitioners from different cultures and different research traditions.
