Ganesh, S., & Holmes, P. (2011). Positioning intercultural dialogue—theories, pragmatics, and an agenda. Journal of International and Intercultural Communication, 4(2), 81-86. DOI:10.1080/17513057.2011.557482

In recent years, the term intercultural dialogue has gained considerable currency in both scholarly as well as policy-making contexts. The European Union declared 2008 to be the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue, and the Council of Europe (Citation2008) published a white paper on the subject, offering a blueprint for how people in the expanded European community might live together across diversity and difference. The increased public visibility and circulation of the term has also prompted academic discussion in multiple venues, including a 2009 National Communication Association summer conference in Istanbul, Turkey, and a preconference in Singapore in 2010, as part of the International Communication Association's annual convention.
