The second point is the emphasis on the IC as an actual competence one can develop with outside help, hence this book. And in this sense, interculturalists know well how underestimated both the IC skills and the actual field are. One misses a certain “newness” e.g. more dynamic IC studies or projects e.g. The Globe Project or the European Values Study. I also think one needs a more ingenious title. That is not to be sensationalist but to attract students and interested parties.
I believe that“Intercultural Competences” written by Patrick T.H.M. Janssen is for anyone out there who wants to scratch beneath the surface and turn cultural models and knowledge into actual skills.
