The UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions (CDCE) was adopted in 2005 and designed to allow States to protect and promote cultural policies. This book examines the effectiveness of the CDCE and offers ways by which its implementation may be improved to better attain its objectives. The book provides insight in how the normative character of the CDCE may be strengthened through implementation and increasingly recurrent practice based on its provisions. Hailing from various fields of international law, political and social sciences, the book's

Cet article a pour objet le traitement de l'interface « commerce – culture » dans la politique commerciale extérieure de l'Union européenne (UE), avec un accent particulier sur le numérique. Il examine les différentes dispositions sur le secteur de l'audiovisuel et le numérique dans les accords bilatéraux et régionaux de commerce européens, afin d'identifier la manière dont l'UE reconnaît la spécificité de ce secteur et la stratégie qu'elle emploie afin de conserver sa marge de manœuvre en matière de politique culturelle dans ces accords. L'article la compare à la stratégie d'autres partenaires commerciaux de l'UE, et tient compte des principes et objectifs reconnus au sein de l'Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO), notamment par la Convention de 2005 sur la protection et la promotion de la diversité des expressions culturelles.

The UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions (CDCE) was adopted in 2005 and designed to allow States to protect and promote cultural policies. This book examines the effectiveness of the CDCE and offers ways by which its implementation may be improved to better attain its objectives. The book provides insight in how the normative character of the CDCE may be strengthened through implementation and increasingly recurrent practice based on its provisions. Hailing from various fields of international law, political and social sciences, the book's contributors work to promote discussions on the practical and legal influence of the CDCE, and to identify opportunities and recommendations for a more effective application. Part One of the book assesses the effectiveness of the CDCE in influencing other areas of international law and the work conducted by other intergovernmental organizations through the recognition of the double nature (cultural and economic) of cultural goods and services. Part Two focuses on the practice of the CDCE beyond the recognition of the specificity of cultural goods and services in international law by addressing the CDCE's call for greater international cooperation and stronger integration of cultural concerns in development strategies at the national and regional levels. The book will be of great use and interest to academics and practitioners in law, social and political sciences, agents of governmental and international organizations, and cultural sector stakeholders. ; Peer reviewed

[.] Based on the discrepancy between the urgency of climate issues and themeagre results achieved in international negotiations, this chapter weighsthe usefulness of BCAs as a complement to strong regional or domesticenvironmental regulation. This leads us to discuss the interplay of economiccompetitiveness and climate change, before the economic challenges posed byBCAs in order to reach fairness in its design and implementation (Section 4.2).Section 4.3 sheds light upon the legality of BCAs according to internationaltrade law, while Section 4.4 provides an assessment of policy-related implications.It outlines, in particular, how BCAs could be used as an engine of anecessary economic transition, for developed and developing countries equally,according to the common but differentiated responsibilities principle [.]

This paper examines, from a multidisciplinary perspective, plausible hypotheses for implementation of border carbon adjustment mechanisms, seen as a complement to strong environmental regulation. It highlights economic, legal, and political difficulties raised by border carbon adjustments. After thoroughly reviewing their economic practicability, it analyses these mechanisms from an International Trade Law perspective, particularly vis-à-vis the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, sustainable development, and the principle of shared but differentiated responsibilities. It concludes with an assessment of policy-related implications of such mechanisms and outlines, in particular, how border carbon adjustments may be used as an engine of economic and energy transition, for developed and developing countries equally.
