Synopsis

This book fills a gap in the literature on how the Convention for the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions positions itself within the bigger field of public international law. Several studies have been undertaken regarding the relationship of this Convention with the trade regime. However, the drafting process of the Convention brought many more than only trade issues to the forefront, such as heritage law, human rights law, or development law issues. This book investigates to what extent the Convention has impact on these various fields of law and thus aims at clarifying the Convention’s contribution to the fragmentation of public international law.

About the book
‘[The] scientific rigor which has guided the development of this collective work under the visibly stimulating direction of Toshiyuki Kono and Steven Van Uytsel, should be stressed. […] This book nourishes on the major issues that divides the public international law doctrine - that of unity or fragmentation of international law. […] The very useful review of binding or simply declarative legal standards (treaties, declarations, guidelines, free trade agreements and European Community law) is which are linked to the issue of cultural diversity as well as a particularly rich, detailed, and ordered bibliography should be applauded.’
Stéphane Pessina Dassonville in Droit et Societé (2014) 249
