“Complicated Bearers of Cultural Difference”: Canadian Magazines and Trade Policy
Describes the history of Canadian policy on magazines, policy designed primarily to protect Canadian culture in a market heavily dominated by U.S. magazines.

In 2005, Canada was the country first to ratify the UNESCO Convention supporting the protection of cultural diversity as a ’sovereign responsibility.’
