Intangible Cultural Heritage, Sustainable Development and Intellectual Property

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the intersection of intangible cultural heritage (ICH), sustainable development, and intellectual property rights (IPRs), the author presents a critical analysis of their relationships. While acknowledging challenges posed by IPRs in safeguarding ICH, the book highlights their potential benefits and alignment with the UNESCO 2003 Convention. It explores the role of IPRs in sustainable safeguarding plans that support communities, examining environmental, social, and economic impacts. The nuanced discussion addresses both advantages and drawbacks of IPR adoption in preserving ICH.
