The UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions - Explanatory Notes

The 2005 UNESCO Convention on Cultural Diversity is a landmark agreement in modern international law of culture. It reflects the diverse and pluralist conception of culture as well as its increasing commercial dimension. Thirty diplomats, practitioners and academics explain and assess this important agreement in a commentary style. Article by article, the evolution, concepts, contents and implications of the Convention are analysed in depth, also including valuable recommendations for implementation. In an unprecedented way, the book draws from first-hand insights of negotiators, experience in implementation, including international cooperation and combines this with a good deal of critical academic reflection. It is a valuable guide for those, who deal with the Convention and its implementation in governments, diplomacy, international organization, cultural institutions and non-governmental organizations and will also serve an important source for academic work in such fields as international law and international relations.
