Implementing Cultural Diversity Within and Outside the European Union: A Test for the Delineation of Competences in Cultural Matters?
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.12728/culj.6.6Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the European Union’s (EU) involvement in the protection of cultural diversity, both within and outside the EU, after the entering into force of the Lisbon Treaty, in 2009, and the adoption of the UNESCO Convention of 2005. The author examines whether this involvement can be depicted in concrete measures aiming at the effective internal and external implementation of the provisions of the UNESCO Convention of 2005. The author further seeks to analyse whether the entailed consequences of EU’s actions, including the erosion of the Member State's competences in the cultural field, was translated in concrete measures or if it still remains at the political discourse level.References
