Book review: globalization, culture and development: the UNESCO convention on cultural diversity edited by Christiaan De Beukelaer, Miikka Pyykkönen and J. P. Singh

In Globalization, Culture and Development: The UNESCO Convention on Cultural Diversity, editors Christiaan De Beukelaer, Miikka Pyykkönen and J. P. Singh present a series of research essays examining the 2005 UN Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions. Jonathan Vickery argues that this volume not only critically explores one of the fastest conventions to have passed through the UN General Assembly, but also that its findings serve to shed further light on some of the broader problems bound up in the UN’s current role in global development.
