  • Benjamin Hanke

摘要

When Germany became a State Party to the 2003 UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2013, a participatory system to draw up inventories of the cultural expressions was introduced. The procedure, with multiple steps and the involvement of many parties, proved successful in integrating new actors in the policy field and in guaranteeing at the same time a largely harmonious cooperation of all those involved on different levels of cultural governance. However, the policy goals on national level were left open. Even though not necessarily intended, one of the major effects was perhaps an increase in cultural participation in larger parts of the population in Germany.
