| description | This essay examines the influence of the French concept of the “cultural exception” on
European media policy and international agreements. After briefly reviewing the historical
background of the cultural exception in France, the essay describes how demands for the cultural
exception and those for diversity affect inter-/transnational agreements within the European Union
and around the world. Special focus is placed on the current secret EU/US Transatlantic Trade and
Investment Partnership Agreement (TTIP) negotiations that nearly failed because of France’s
insistence that media and culture be exempted. The author argues that the concept of the “cultural
exception” has been revived in recent years. However, due to the dual character of media (which is
both a cultural and economic good), and the lack of a global media policy, the culture and trade
debate will continue. |
