The Culture of Strangers: Globalization, Localization, and the Phenomenon of Exchange. Trade paperback, 392 pages; University Press of America, 2002; ISBN 0-7618-2205-4.
Hansen is professor of international political economy in the School of Economics and Business Administration at Saint Mary's College of California.
He writes: "As a teacher of international management, I had recognized the importance of culture in the development of business values and in understanding global trends, and the need to expose students to cultural analysis in an organized way. . . . In preparing this study I have tried to establish the right tension between a systematized approach and one that will provoke thinking about the practical implications of cultural values."
