Beskrivning
Debate about trade and culture has a long history, but the application of WTO rules to cultural products such as films, radio, and books remains one of the most divisive issues in the organization. After assessing the economic and social arguments for treating cultural products differently from things like steel or wheat, this 2007 book explains how the vastly different views of WTO members in earlier negotiations led to an outcome that is disappointing for all. It goes on to provide a comprehensive evaluation of possible solutions, including evolution of the law through WTO dispute settlement, an agreement outside the WTO, and reforms to improve the balance between trade liberalization and cultural policy objectives.

Review of the hardback: 'Voon examines each solution, its advantages, implications and possible shortfalls. While she finds no silver bullet for the problem, Voon calls for action as UNESCO's new convention affecting trade and cultural diversity enters into force in 2007 and the WTO's Doha Round of negotiations stumbles. This book is not biased in favour of trade or culture. Voon presents some solutions that should be acceptable to both sides, citing international trade treaties and other materials extensively, while explaining the reasons for different countries' arguments. She also provides a discussion of the role of international law in WTO disputes, while taking into account political ramifications.' Law Library Journal
