La transposición de la Directiva audiovisual europea en Francia o la actualización del modelo de elaboración de políticas de «excepción cultural»

Abstract

Since the 1980s, the “cultural exception” has been key in French cultural policy to protect the cultural sector in WTO agreements. With digitization and new transnational actors, the European Audiovisual Directive 2018/1808 has been transposed in France. This research analyzes the cultural policy and legislative process followed, based on theories on the complexity of public policy and the influence of power. Despite the use of the Decree Law, the cycle of negotiations between actors has been crucial, showing France's continued leadership in cultural policies within the EU.
