Abstract

Objectives: The paper proposes an Integrated Model on Intercultural Competence, which attempts to present Intercultural Communication and Competence from the term point of the dialectical approach, described by Martin and Nakayama (Martin, J., Th.Nakayama, 2010). The suggested concept deploys from previously developed and accepted models, both structure-oriented and process-oriented. At the same time it replies to the principles of the ‘Theory of Models’ as outlined by Balboni and Caon (Balboni, Caon, 2014. In the near future, the model will be applied to assess Intercultural Competence of cross-border project teams, working under the CBC program between Romania – Bulgaria 2007-2014.
