Acheson, Keith; Maule, Christopher
"Convention on cultural diversity". In: Journal of cultural economics Vol. 28, no. 4
(November 2004), p. 243-256
This article explores the actual impact an international instrument on cultural
diversity can have on the international trade reality. The authors present the
concerns of the proponents of an international text, and then go on to analyse the
draft Convention on Cultural Diversity, proposed 2003 by the International Network of
Cultural Policy (INCP), which constitutes a substantial basis for the planned UNESCO
convention. The second part of the article is dedicated to the ways in which WTO
rules affect the cultural sector. The authors argue that such an international
instrument on cultural diversity will fail to oppose liberalisation of cultural sectors
due to the lack of a dispute settlement mechanism for cultural trade issues which is
only available within WTO. They suggest the hypothesis that such a convention
could be aimed at influencing the future evolution of WTO rules by strengthening the
bargaining position of those countries who oppose further increase of trade liberalisation in the cultural sector.

pluralism - protectionism - free trade - UNESCO - economic integration - cultural

Business attitudes on arts sponsorship in Romania = Sponsorizarea in cultura :

This study presents the results of a survey, carried out in 2003 among companies in
Romania, on perceptions towards sponsoring events and projects, covering both
sponsorship in general and cultural sponsorship more specifically. The report
mentions the fields sponsored, reasons for positive or reluctant attitudes, advantages
and disadvantages of sponsoring. Sponsorship is used as communication and marketing technique, or as business strategy in the context a corporate social
responsibility, or as a mix of both. One of the advantages of the arts sponsorship is
the clear identification of the audience. The report also includes a section on
business sponsoring policy and philosophy. Another section is addressed to arts
managers and provides practical advice for making sponsorship proposals, highlighting the need to offer benefits to the sponsors. The last section presents the
legal and fiscal provisions for sponsorship and patronage agreements in Romania.

Integrated project "Responses to violence in everyday life in a democratic society";
Dolff-Bonekämper, Gabi (ed.)
Dividing lines, connecting lines : Europe's cross-border heritage. - Strasbourg :
Council of Europe, 2004. - 157 p. : photos (some in colours) - ISBN 92-871-5546-1
This publication deals with the heritage of borders in Europe, highlighting their
special quality as cultural heritage, as they carry the signs of their intentions and
reflect various meanings and interpretations. The eight contributions deal with
crossing points; lines of military defence of the First and Second World Wars and the
Cold War; the spatial effects of geographical boundaries within cities; new frontiers
around cultural communities in large urban areas; the use of architecture to
nationalise a territory and to represent the new-found political and territorial unity;
imagined frontiers and borders of the mind; maritime borders and multi-ethnic
communities in Nice and Rotterdam; and the imagined Celtic realm which only corresponds to a mental territory. By looking at ways how to use the border heritage
as values and lessons for present and future generations of Europeans, the authors
set out to make new sense of borders and dismantle any remaining - physical or
mental - border defences.
Keywords: compilation - boundaries - cultural identity - cultural heritage - perception
- cultural change - international conflicts - cultural differentiation - nation building -

Berghahn, 2004. - xvi, 352 p. - ISBN 92-3-103946-6 - ISBN 1-57181-442-6
Where have the values gone? How can we create or forecast new ones? This anthology deals with the contemporary values crisis characterised by the
disappearance of transcendental reference points, the historical and cultural
relativity of moral and aesthetic values, and their diversification in a globalised
world. The more than 50 essays are grouped into four sections which address changes in value systems; impact of globalisation, technologies and cultural
diversity; possible social contracts; and the challenges of scientific and biotechnological innovations. Contributors include, for example, Baudrillard who
examines the opposition between global and universal; Béji who accuses the inhuman in certain traditional cultures; Ricoeur who explores the compatibility of
universalism and the multiplicity of heritages; Derrida who highlights the role of
international politics in peace and cosmopolitanism; Rifkin who warns against the
commodification of culture; Odhiambo who calls for a preservation of biodiversity;
etc.
