The subtle power of intangible heritage: legal and financial instruments for safeguarding intangible heritage

This monograph defines what is meant by the term "intangible heritage". It then reviews the legal and financial instruments developed by countries and international bodies to manage these resources and analyses how they relate to instruments that deal with tangible heritage. The authors recommend ways that communities can safeguard their intellectual property rights as well as how cultural policy-makers within government and donor agencies can support communities by linking development initiatives with arts and heritage.
