‘European Union Economic Law and Culture undertakes a timely and wide-ranging investigation into the impact of the Lisbon Treaty on the relationship between culture and European Union (EU) law and policy. The book not only seeks to re-evaluate familiar assumptions regarding the inevitable tensions between trade and culture but also to highlight the links between the protection and promotion of culture and the EU’s fundamental values and rights. Specific chapters identify important shifts in practice, such as an increased willingness on the part of the Court of Justice of the EU to refer questions of proportionality involving cultural claims back to the domestic courts, as well as areas where further action could be taken by the EU, for instance, in promoting wider participation in cultural policy-making and enhanced articulation of cultural considerations in corporate sustainability metrics. There are detailed and reflective chapters on developments in areas such as international trade, competition, copyright, and heritage protection law. Written by established authors in the field, European Union Economic Law and Culture challenges us to reconsider the foundations of European Union law and reflect on what steps are needed if a “culturally corrected” market economy is to be truly realised.’
