Kulturelle Vielfalt als Legitimitätselement der internationalen Gemeinschaft

Carla Thies studies the function and the meaning of the concept of legitimacy in public international law as exemplified by the subject of cultural diversity. She attaches particular importance to the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, which gives the subject of cultural diversity a specific legal form and establishes it as an element of legitimacy.
