Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the influence of cultural
diversity on the advancement of international cooperation
and reasons for cultural diversity. Given the growing
globalized and integrated world, cultural diversity has
become an important instrument of promoting peace and
understanding like never before. Due to the speedy growth
of diverse cultural societies and countries, migrations across
national boundaries and the development of Information
Communication Technologies (ICT), cultural diversity has
become a veritable instrument of advancing international
cooperation in our contemporary world. The methodology
adopted for the study is qualitative, using documentary
evidence and literatures from related materials on cultural
diversity. The study revealed that the vision for a more equal
world can only be achieved if we find ways to inculcate and
spread the spirit of cultural diversity in the world around us.
The author recommended total promotion of cultural
diversity, as well as institutional strengthening among
stakeholders in our contemporary world of globalization
and integration. It is also recommended that multiplicity of
cultural terms should be encouraged in our society. As such,
matters that emanate from cultural diversity cannot be
resolved only by the actions of the state; rather, they also
require collective knowledge propagation, creation of
awareness on cultural diversity and strong international
collaboration and exchange of ideas.
