      abstract = {How do cultural differences between states impact the  effectiveness of international crisis mediation attempts?  This question has important practical implications for how  international crises are handled, including how crisis  mediation should be approached. I argue that cultural  differences between states can negatively impact crisis  mediation attempts, specifically focusing on how goal  formation influences this process and can lead to  misperceptions. I hypothesize that increased cultural  differences between states decrease the likelihood of a  successful crisis mediation attempt. I deploy a  quantitative analysis which utilizes a measure of culture  that differs from those used in the existing literature,  measuring culture through the level of importance states  assign to central aspects of society. The results of my  analysis provide support for my hypothesis.},
