In both ''The Dial'' and ''The Criterion'', evidence of globalization and cross-cultural receptivity abounds. This marks a fascination with the globalization that began as a result of WWI. Soldiers had traveled abroad and seen alternative forms of society function.  Not only was there an increased aesthetic interest in global commodities, but these magazines indicate that there was an increased interest in intellectual diversity. For example, in ''The Dial'', there are multiple European contributors, including Austrian author, Arthur Schnitzler, whose novel ''Doctor Graesler'' was translated from German into English for this publication.  Other contributors to the New York magazine were either European, or were Americans relocated to Europe.

Though not quite as globally diverse as ''The Dial'', ''The Criterion'' has authors that span the European continent. Four authors, Saintsbury, Sinclaire, Moore, and Eliot, are British (though born in the USA, Eliot renounced his American citizenship); Hesse is German; Larbaud is French; and Dostoyevsky is Russian.
