p. ; + 1 CD-Rom - ISBN 978-2-8497-5107-7
(Exos)
This booklet provides a couple of reflections on the valuation of cultural
heritage in the light of social and economic challenges. The chapter by
Breton deals with the role of heritage, also in consideration of the Council
of Europe Framework Convention on the Value of Cultural Heritage for the
Society. This text shows how the valuation of heritage is a process. In the
following contribution, Wanner looks at the issue of heritage as a common
good and its economic valuation. The final chapter is presenting the opinion
of civil society on the economic impact of heritage in the French region
of Bouches-du-Rhône. The included CD includes two audio documentaries.

Baderin, Mashood A.; McCorquodale, Robert (eds.)
Economic, social and cultural rights in action. - Oxford, etc.
: Oxford University Press, 2007. - xxiii, 499 p. - ISBN 978-0-19-921790-8
This volume investigates the situation of economic, social and cultural
rights forty years after the adoption of the International Covenant on
Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and thirty years after its
entry into force. Both regarding concept and application, this set of human
rights has been considered to be different from civil and political rights.
Because economic, social and cultural rights were understood rather as
goals, to be achieved progressively, they were enshrined in a separate
instrument. The contributions in this book are divided into three sections.
The first addresses the structure and scope of legal obligations under the
ICESCR. The second provides analyses of regional and comparative
understandings of economic, social and cultural rights in the African,
American, and European human rights system, as well as in a specific
national legal system (British). This section includes contributions on the
European Social Charter and the European Convention on Human Rights. The
final section deals with specific applications of economic, social and
cultural rights, addressing for example health or social security. In his
contribution on democracy, Burchill makes clear that a minimalist,
market-based definition of democracy is inappropriate; instead, an
inclusionary and emancipatory approach could better address the
socio-economic aspects of the human experience and society. The final
contribution by McGoldrick is dedicated to - the often neglected - cultural
rights. He reviews the various instruments regarding cultural rights:
article 15 of the ICESCR and the General Comment 17 of 2005 by its
Committee, as well as the UNESCO Convention on Diversity. With these recent
texts, there is now a promising possibility of significant normative
improvements in the understanding and application of cultural rights.

Guéguen, Daniel; Europolitics
European lobbying. - Brussels : Europolitics, 2007. - 140 p. -
ISBN 2-930409-06-1
This guide presents a practical and methodological analysis of lobbying at
the EU institutions. The author, manager of a European consultancy in
Brussels, introduces the available structures and how they can best be used
for influencing decision-making, drawing on real examples. The book is
organised into three main parts. The first is dedicated to an in-depth
analysis of the landscape of interest groups, covering European trade
associations, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), European trade unions,
and representations of business corporations. The NGOs have organised
themselves via the platform Civil Society Contact Group (CSCG), in which the
European Forum of the Arts and Heritage (EFAH) is the umbrella organisation
for culture. The second part introduces the lobbying tools, from legislative
monitoring, over networking to the highly important art of communication.
The final section deals with lobbying strategies, looking at the different
moments and methods of intervention, as well the forming of alliances.
Throughout the text, the author highlights the shift in lobbying which is
currently under way: from sectoral lobbying to transversal alliances around
a common project, from upstream to downstream networks, and from opposition
lobbying to proposition lobbying.

Die Kunstausstellungen des Europarats 1954-1960 : Magisterarbeit am
Philosophischen Seminar der Universität zu Köln (geringfügig
korrigierte Version vom 5.6.2007). - [Köln, 2007]. - 101 p.
In 1952, the Committee of Cultural Experts of the Council of Europe adopted
the proposal of the Belgian delegation to organise a series of large art
exhibitions demonstrating the universal character of the European spirit and
the unity of its artistic heritage down the ages. This was the first
practical expression of specifically cultural co-operation between the
Council’s member states, even before the European Cultural Convention was
adopted. -- This unpublished thesis on the first Council of Europe art
exhibitions investigates in how far they managed to vehicle
the idea of a common European culture, and in general create a European
consciousness. After an introductory chapter on the Council of Europe, its
approach to culture and the art exhibitions programme, the first six
exhibitions are presented in detail. Starting with Humanism, they presented in
chronological order the different eras and ages in European art from the
15th to the 20th century. After these six, the concept of the exhibitions
changed with the setting-up of the Council for Cultural Co-operation (CDCC).
The co-operation in the organisation of the exhibitions certainly created
room for dialogue between the participating countries, for example when
organising the loan of works of arts. On the other hand, as the organisation
of the art exhibitions was left to the national authorities which hosted the
event, the European objectives were rather neglected, as the author shows.
This also lead to a missing consideration of the political role of art, like
in the case of the Delacroix painting, depicting the Turkish massacre of the
Greek peasants at Chios, which created a diplomatic clash around the 5th
Council of Europe exhibition which took place in London in 1959. Although
the impact of these six art exhibitions on the general public in Europe
could not be traced for lack of suitable sources, this thesis has the merit to
meticulously document an important chapter at the very beginning of the
Council of Europe’s cultural co-operation.

Schuster, J. Mark
"Participation studies and cross-national comparison -- proliferation,
prudence, and possibility". In: Cultural trends 62 = Vol. 16(2)
June 2007, p. 99-196
This paper deals with the usefulness and cross-country comparability of
national studies of cultural participation and cultural attendance. The
author examined 20 different participation studies covering 35 countries.
Originally, he intended to present comparative results, but encountered too
many methodological difficulties so that in the end he rather explored
practice and methodology of this type of study. The paper starts with a
consideration of the various definitions of participation and presents a
historic outline of participation studies. The author then addresses the
issue of comparability, particularly with respect to variation in the design
of participation studies. In chapter VI, he summarises the investigated
participation studies, by providing a compilation of national participation
rates in form of a table. He then addresses the issue of interpretation and
use of participation data, which is linked to its policy relevance and
impact on policy choices. Differences in methodology, he finds, severely
restrict one’s ability to compare responsibly, but on the other hand he
stresses that differences in concepts, definitions, categorisation and
statistical methods are linked to very different goals (evaluation of
specific cultural offers, benchmarking, etc.). Concluding, he suggests a
solution which could respond to the differing interests of cultural
managers, policy makers, of researchers: an international system that would
alternate national studies with cross-national studies.
Keywords: cultural participation - cultural attendance - comparative
analysis - cross national analysis - policy making - historical aspect -

BSP/2007/RP/H/1
This publication contains the proceedings of the Opatija Regional Summit,
organised jointly by the Government of Croatia and UNESCO, in co-operation
with the Council of Europe, on the topic of heritage communication. The
summit dealt with the fundamental role that cultural heritage plays in the
development of South-East Europe, along with its promotion, safeguarding and
transmission. The participants discussed how best to promote the knowledge
about heritage and to foster a sense of shared responsibility towards the
common heritage. This volume includes the statements made and the texts
adopted at the Summit: the Opatija Declaration, and the Strategy for
identifying, preserving, sustainably using and promoting cultural corridors
of South East Europe. Of special interest are the three background papers on
communication of heritage, contributed by UNESCO, Culturelink, and the
Croatian Ministry of Culture (part III). The publication also includes some
basic texts - including the Declaration - of the previous Summit, the
Regional Forum on Cultural Corridors of South East Europe which took place
in Varna in 2005.

United Cities and Local Governments. Working Group on Culture; Barcelona.

Local policies for cultural diversity. - Barcelona :
Ajuntament de Barcelona, [2006]. - 134 p.
This study investigates public policies at local level that support cultural
diversity, focusing on policies and programmes devised by cultural
departments. It was commissioned to the Barcelona City Council’s Institute
for Culture by the Division of Cultural Policies and Intercultural Dialogue
of UNESCO. The three papers included in this study cover local diversity
policies in different geographical areas and from different angles: Duxbury,
Simons and Warfield deal with policies and expressions of cultural diversity
in local communities across North America; Laaksonen focuses on local
policies for cultural diversity in Latin America and Europe, advocating a
rights-based approach to policy-making; Mercer addresses systems,
citizenship and governance in local diversity policies in the UK and
Australia. The synthesis report by Pascual draws on the case studies and
experiences presented in these papers. Cities are including cultural
diversity considerations in their local policies, but do not understand
cultural diversity in the same way, nor are the local support practices and
juridical frameworks equal. The meanings of diversity - referring to
contents, actors, or ethno-cultural identity/origin -have been mapped and
matched with a fivefold typology of local policies for cultural diversity.
It includes: cultural rights and policies based on the intrinsic values of
culture; policies that relate cultural diversity to social inclusion;
policies that relate cultural diversity to the urban environment (public
spaces, urban regeneration, etc.); policies relating to the cultural
economy; and strategies for governance of culture, ensuring the central
place of culture in urban policies. This framework for local cultural
policies emphasises the importance of qualitative information on cultural
policies and shall help in the search for suitable indicators. The annexes
include case studies and related material. The study makes clear hat the
democratic governance of cultural policies is a crucial point, as it can
handle the various concepts, contexts, practices and expressions of
diversity.

Fair culture -- culture for sustainable development :
conclusions and report from the seminar 29th to 30th May 2007
[electronic resource]. - [Helsinki]
: Ministry of Education, 2007. - [14 p.]
This report summarises the seminar on the best ways to include culture in
development policy and co-operation which took place in Hanasaari, Espoo
(Finland) on 29-30 May. The Fair Culture Seminar was organised jointly by
Finland’s Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Hanasaari,
the Swedish-Finnish Cultural Centre and the Nordic Council of Ministers, as
part of the Finnish presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers. The three
workshops dealt with different models to support the cultural sector in
developing countries; the Nordic programmes and projects in development and
cultural work; and the role of culture in reducing poverty and catalysing
local development. Sweden, Norway and Denmark have new policies on culture
in development, and Finland is currently preparing a new development policy
programme. Networking and partnerships are required to share information, to
exchange experiences and to coordinate action, not only between North and
South, but also between developing countries.
