Artistic Expression in a Corporate World – Do We Need Monopolistic Control?

Author: Cristina Farinha - Date: 14 may 2008, 13:58

This book clarifies “why there is a need for a Convention on Cultural Diversity and how it should look”, before UNESCO put forward this mission.

It analyses the consequences of the current globalisation and liberalisation of trade in the field of culture and artistic expressions. It investigates how fundamental human rights and democracy are in danger when cultural markets are not regulated and the value of diversity is not preserved. Joost Smiers has chosen to publish the book on the Culturelink website and make it available for free download.
