Global Dispatches -- Conversations On Foreign Policy And World Affairs

Michelle Gelfand is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Maryland and author of the new book Rule Makers, Rule Breakers: How Tight and Loose Cultures Wire our World. The book, which is written for a popular audience, is based on a scientific study conducted by Gelfand in 33 countries in which she examines cultural norms around rule following.  As she explains, certain countries have a higher tolerance for norm and rules breaking behavior than others--and these discrepancies can have important consequences for international relations.  Dr. Gelfand's study is a groundbreaking way to look at key cultural differences between countries.  ****Become a Premium Subscriber and unlock a host of rewards and bonus content! ****    https://www.patreon.com/GlobalDispatches
