The Trade and Culture Debate - Evidence from US Trade Agreements (Hardcover)

As the first exporter of cultural goods and services, the United
States has long held that such products should be treated like any
other merchandise and be liberalized. On the other hand, for
countries such as France and Canada who are concerned about the
impact of economic globalization and the digital revolution on
their cultural identity, cultural products should be exempted from
economic liberalization or subject to a cultural exception. These
conflicting views and interests between states as to the treatment
of cultural products in international economic law lie at the
hearth of the trade and culture debate. These differences have led
to serious tensions over the liberalization of cultural services
within the World Trade Organization, as well as to a Convention
within UNESCO to recognize the economic and cultural character of
cultural products and the states' right to pursue cultural
policies. With most states still not keen on liberalizing the
cultural sector and the stalemate in the Doha Round, the United
States has turned to preferential trade agreements to secure its
policy preferences on the treatment of cultural products. Since the
beginning of the twenty-first century, the US government has
concluded eleven trade agreements grouping sixteen countries and
has been involved in three sets of plurilateral negotiations, with
major implications for the evolution of the trade and culture
debate.
