Abstract

The previous chapter examined cultural policy at the national level, using Canadian magazines policy as an example. It examined the arguments made by the Canadian and US trade negotiators from the perspective of the market- and community-based approaches. It concluded that the approach taken by American negotiators failed to appreciate the constitutive importance of culture. However, the Canadian perspective is also ethically unsatisfactory and requires greater attention to emancipatory and participatory demands if it is to be ethically defensible.
