Culture in Law and Development presents a provocative new solution to the seemingly intractable problem of combining international norms with local cultural traditions by changing culture through law and development. In this book, Lan Cao demonstrates how the gradual expansion of customary international law (CIL) provides a model for changing culture in ways that protect and advance local populations. The book adopts a holistic view of development and argues that cultural norms that impede the human capabilities of the poor, women, and other marginal groups should be changed. The book reveals

La 4ème de couv. indique :"Si le droit à la culture a une valeur constitutionnelle depuis 1946, le droit de la culture n'est devenu une discipline propre que dans les années 1990. En France, la culture a une place particulière, sachant qu'elle est placée sous le contrôle et l'impulsion des pouvoirs publics. Leur mission est de conserver et entretenir le patrimoine culturel français tout en faisant attention à ne pas aboutir à une culture officielle. Le droit de la culture a pour spécificité de toucher à des domaines variés, tels que celui des monuments, de la création ou des archives, mais aussi à des champs différents, comme par exemple celui du droit administratif, de la propriété intellectuelle ou du droit fiscal. L'objectif ici est de traiter de ces différents aspects du droit de la culture en définissant précisément le rôle de l'administration dans le secteur afin de mieux comprendre les règles utilisées ou destinées à être utilisées par le lecteur. Cet ouvrage, ancré dans la pratique tout en étant synthétique, permet de mettre en perspective les outils permettant à l'administration de mettre en place les politiques culturelles, tant d'un point de vue historique que juridique ou encore pratique. Sont en effet traitées les sources de ce droit de la culture mais aussi la compétence culturelle publique et les outils dont l'administration dispose pour l'exercer (que ce soient les outils de gestion des équipements et les services culturels publics ou les outils liés aux politiques culturelles). Enfin, il traite également des biens culturels et du personnel culturel public. Il permet ainsi aux professionnels ou futurs professionnels de l'administration culturelle de faire le point sur un secteur très riche et diversifié."

Written by a renowned literary critic and legal historian, Practice Extended illuminates the intricacies of legal language and thought and the law's relationship to society, literature, and culture. Robert A. Ferguson details how judicial opinions are written, how legal thought and philosophy inform ideas, and how best to appreciate a courtroom novel. With chapters touching on a wide range of subjects, including immigration, eloquence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Supreme Court case over James Joyce's Ulysses, Practice Extended provides an ambitious argument for the importance of language in law and a much-needed analysis of the often vexed relationship between law and literature.Ferguson challenges the notion of law as a hermetic enterprise only accessible to experts. He reveals the discipline's relationships to history, religion, philosophy, psychology, anthropology, and the visual arts, offering a rich account of how the law has shaped and has been shaped by communal thought. He also recognizes the critical role of literature and other outside views in showcasing the social problems that law takes up. Practice Extended reflects Ferguson's crucial role as a pioneer in developing the field of law and literature. His writing reminds us of the need for a critical approach to the law that draws on the insights of literature to better understand political and legal history and the documents, laws, and arguments that shape our present. At the same time, this volume also showcases the ways in which the law has been integrated into works of literature, from Billy Budd to contemporary courtroom thrillers.

Collective cultural rights are commonly perceived as the most neglected or least developed category of human rights. Cultural Rights as Collective Rights – An International Law Perspective endeavours to challenge this view and offers a comprehensive, critical analysis of recent developments in distinct areas of international law and jurisprudence, from every region of the world, in relation to the scope, legal content, and enforceability of such rights. Leading international scholars explore the conceptualisation and operationalisation of collective cultural rights as human rights, encompassing community rights, and discuss the ways in which such rights may collide with other, mostly individual, human rights. As such, Cultural Rights as Collective Rights – An International Law Perspective offers a cross-cutting and original overview on how the protection, recognition and enforcement of collective cultural rights affect the development, changes and formation of general international law norms.
