<http://upo.unesco.org/onlinebookdetails.asp?id=3613>

Summary available at: http://www.unesco.org/culture/worldreport/#Aware
<http://www.unesco.org/culture/worldreport/#Aware>

".........Aware of the need to delve further into multi-layered concepts of
cultural diversity, conflict resolution and pluralism, UNESCO proposes this
second edition of the World Culture Report, in which experts, statisticians
provide information and propose new concepts, insights and policy
recommendations on:

- cultural justice
- redistribution and recognition
- the 'social investment state' as a solution to state regulation and market
dynamics
- cultural pluralism and citizenship in the context of increased
international migration
- new strategies and concepts on tangible and intangible heritage in the
globalized world
- and information and communication technologies as vehicules for cultural
empowerment.........."
