I argue that regarding behaviour as being generated by cultural origin precludes integration in a conglomerate of structural dependencies and formal and informal relationships. It is argued that culture is first of all a powerful and persuasive discourse in development co-operation and that it provides orientation in complex working situations. 'Hide-and-seek' and 'discussing openly' - behavioural patterns considered to be either typically Sri Lankan (Eastern) or typically German (Western) - are presented in order to show that culture is a reciprocal process of identity creation rather than a feasible explanation of behaviour. The structural integrations of project collaborators show that behaviour in a ' hide-and-seek' manner more likely reflects dependencies in a counterpart set-up than to cultural origin."}],"date_created":"2023-03-30T08:02:19Z","publication":"Internationales Asienforum ","date_updated":"2023-10-02T12:06:50Z","title":"Beyond Cultural Differences: 'Intercultural' Co-operation in a German/Sri Lankan Development Project","department":[{"_id":"121"}],"volume":35,"type":"journal_article","_id":"43205","extern":"1","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"doi":"10.11588/IAF.2004.35.485","year":"2004","author":[{"first_name":"Lisa","full_name":"Knoll, Lisa","last_name":"Knoll","id":"88789"}],"issue":"3-4","citation":{"mla":"Knoll, Lisa. “Beyond Cultural Differences: ‘Intercultural’ Co-Operation in a German/Sri Lankan Development Project.” <i>Internationales Asienforum </i>, vol. 35, no. 3–4, 2004, pp. 295–306, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.11588/IAF.2004.35.485\">10.11588/IAF.2004.35.485</a>.","bibtex":"@article{Knoll_2004, title={Beyond Cultural Differences: “Intercultural” Co-operation in a German/Sri Lankan Development Project}, volume={35}, DOI={<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.11588/IAF.2004.35.485\">10.11588/IAF.2004.35.485</a>}, number={3–4}, journal={Internationales Asienforum }, author={Knoll, Lisa}, year={2004}, pages={295–306} }","apa":"Knoll, L.
