This book describes the global legal framework for safeguarding the “Intangible Cultural Heritage” – as defined by the UNESCO Convention in 2003 – and analyses its use in selected countries in the Americas, Asia, Africa and Europe. Each of the contributions has been prepared by high profile experts and strategically addresses countries that are representative for their corresponding area. Our understanding of the term “Cultural Heritage” has changed considerably over the past few decades, and it is becoming increasingly clear that the concept also includes traditions and living expressions that we inherit from our ancestors and pass on to our descendants. UNESCO has recognised an...

Heritage, Conflict, and Peace-Building examines the possibilities arising from, and challenges associated with, transforming heritage from a casualty of conflict into an opportunity for peacebuilding. The contributors to this book, who hail from academia and practice, present case studies that shed light on the multifaceted factors and conditions influenced by diplomacy, nationalism, victimhood, and the roles of diverse institutional actors in fostering peace. They demonstrate the possibilities and pitfalls of the work heritage does for local communities, the nation-state, and the international community, when these different actors and their peace aspirations and agendas intersect. Looking ...
Informed by systems thinking, this book explores new perspectives in which culture and management are harmoniously integrated and cultural heritage is interpreted both as an essential part of the social and economic context and as an expression of community identity. The combination of a multidisciplinary approach, methodological rigor and reference to robust empirical findings in the fertile field of analysis of UNESCO’s contribution mean that the book can be considered a reference for the management of cultural heritage. It casts new light on the complex relation of culture and management, which has long occupied both scholars and practitioners and should enable the development of new pathways for value creation. The book is based on research conducted within the framework of the Consorzio Universitario di Economia Industriale e Manageriale (University Consortium for Industrial and Managerial Economics), a network of universities, businesses and public and private institutions that is dedicated to the production and dissemination of knowledge in the field. This volume will be of interest to all who are involved in the study and management of the cultural heritage.
A Editora Contracorrente tem a satisfação de anunciar a publicação do livro Teorias e técnicas do lobbying, do ilustre professor italiano Pier Luigi Petrillo. Em primorosa tradução de Antonio Araldo Ferraz Dal Pozzo e Augusto Neves Dal Pozzo, a obra examina em profundidade um tema que permeia todo o conceito de Estado de Direito: o lobbying, entendido aqui não como sinônimo de corrupção, mas como legítimo mecanismo de pressão sobre os responsáveis por decisões públicas. O objetivo do livro consiste, portanto, em apresentar modelos íntegros para nortear a relação entre o setor público e o privado; em oferecer elementos essenciais para a criação ou reforma de legislaçõe...

It has also been recognized that the inherent links between cultural heritage and sustainable deve...

This work deals with lobbying from a legal point of view, and in particular legal-constitutional (comparative): it analyzes that is how this practice, whose impact on the democratic process is very high and constantly growing, is regulated, and above all which both the constitutional framework in which this regulation moves, and what this tells us about the legal system as a whole in some particularly significant systems: USA, Europe (EU and Council of Europe) and Italy.
