The Integration of Cultural Considerations in EU Law and Policies

This book evaluates the degree of accommodation, or lack thereof, of cultural considerations in EC law and action and offers valuable insight into the plethora of ways in which the European institutions seek to balance cultural with other legitimate EC policy objectives. The study draws upon a series of policy areas that are (or can be) enriched with a cultural dimension and examines concrete judicial and legislative instances attesting to the efforts deployed to deliver coherent, culture-sensitive policies at EC level.
