Written by Helen Spencer-Oatey and Peter Franklin, a book entitled 'Intercultural Interaction: A Multi-disciplinary Approach to Intercultural Communication' will be published by Palgrave-Macmillan in 2009.

The book offers a contextual approach to intercultural communication, drawing on people's authentic experiences of intercultural interaction across a range of sectors (e.g. business, education, health).

Interdisciplinary in perspective, it examines the concepts and frameworks that are needed to describe and explain these experiences, and explores the practical issues that are associated with them. It is aimed at professionals who need an authoritative introduction to the field, and it provides rapid access to key concepts, debates, research and follow-up resources.
