As the ending of the Cold War presents us with a more fragmente d world, theoryof international relations is growing more aware of its own cul tural roots andbiases, and so it becoming more sensitive to cultural differenc e. With the demise ofSoviet Union and the bipolar world order, the need to designate “the other”resulted in the specific focus on the difference in cultures of the East and theWest, the threat of Islamic fundamentalism and China and the cl ash ofcivilizations that characterized “the end of history.”On the other hand, due to thet cultures were facedwith the necessity of negotiating and communicating with one an other.This necessity emanated a range of literature from scholarly to popular writingson getting to know the other cultures and learning different ne gotiation styles.This paper argues that culture shapes human behavior, attitudes and perceptionsas a variable and is, in return, shaped by it through social co nstruction of culturalcharacteristics. The role of culture in conflict resolution is illuminated in preparing the specific context for the expression of human needs in conflict situations, behavior and attitudes of both the parties and the mediators involved in conflict resolution.
