Cultural Heritage in International Economic Law
Investigating how international economic law governs the interplay between
economic phenomena and the protection of cultural heritage is particularly
important, timely, and topical, as only by acknowledging their common humanity
and cultural diversity, may peoples overcome common challenges.
Economic globalization – the increasing economic integration and interdependence
of economies across the globe – has not produced a universal civilization
and ‘the end of history’;1 rather, through trade, foreign investment flows,
and increased interconnection, civilizations ‘have influenced each other and
have transformed themselves through these mutual influences’ while preserving
their uniqueness.2 In order to prevent trade disputes, conflicts, and even
wars, each civilization should accept that it is simply one among many and
should dialogue with others.3 International law should reflect its intercivilizational
dimension–the idea that it governs the interplay between different cultures.
In this regard, acknowledging the plurality of the cultures that compose
the international community is key to maintaining just, peaceful, and prosperous
relations among nations.4 Such a perspective pays attention not only
to economic factors, but also to cultural ones. This is particularly apposite in
times of crisis, when the structure of international law is under pressure and
needs some fluidity, flexibility, and resilience.
