Making intangible heritage : El Condor Pasa and other stories from UNESCO
1. This book takes an ethnographic approach to UNESCO, providing readers a global perspective on folklore/intangible cultural heritage. As such it studies cultural diplomacy through/in the field of folklore. This accessibly and engagingly written collection of articles is written by internationally known folklorist, Valdimar Tr. Hafstein. 2. In addition to being a trained academic, the author is the Former Chair of Iceland's National Commission for UNESCO, NGO observer at WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization), and former president of the International Society for Ethnology and Folklore (SIEF). 3. The project is threefold: 1) it explores the meetings, conventions, and decisions that led to UNESCO's Intangible Heritage Convention; 2) it calls on the discipline of folklore to study the everyday in institutions of power as well as in places that lack power; 3) it examines how folklore concepts get used and interpreted outside of the academy and how those concepts work (or don't work) and impact global ideas of heritage.

Experiencias de salvaguardia del patrimonio cultural inmaterial
Este es un libro en el que confluyen múltiples miradas, voces y plumas para abordar un tema en común: el patrimonio cultural inmaterial y su salvaguardia. En 2013 se llevó a cabo el II Congreso Internacional sobre Experiencias en la Salvaguardia del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial en la ciudad de Zacatecas. Algunas de las 134 ponencias allí presentadas dieron origen a los capítulos de este libro. De esta manera, se consolida la práctica de coordinar esfuerzos para la difusión de algunas de las múltiples experiencias que se realizan tanto desde el ámbito académico como de diversas instituciones públicas, en materia de salvaguardia del PCI.
Una de las características principales de esta publicación es su diversidad: por un lado, aborda temas muy variados, algunos de los cuales son polémicos y controversiales, lo cual constituyó una de las principales razones para incluirlos, puesto que la apuesta es fomentar un diálogo con profundidad reflexiva a capacidad crítica; pero además los trabajos de invetigadores y académicos con una amplia trayectoria conviven con los textos de los jóvenes estudiantes que por medio de sus investigaciones abordan el tema desde perspectiva innovadoras. El libro se organiza en torno a dos amplias temáticas: el primer apartado concentra las propuestas, estrategias y experiencias de salvaguardia, mientras que en el segundo se encuentran reflexiones e invetigaciones sobre el PCI.

Intangible Heritage and the Museum

Using a grounded ethnographic methodology, Alivizatou examines intangible heritage in the local complexities of museum and heritage work in Oceania, the Americas and Europe. This multi-sited, cross-cultural approach highlights key challenges currently faced by cultural institutions worldwide in understanding and presenting this form of heritage.

RENT APPROPRIATION OF KNOWLEDGE-BASED ASSETS AND FIRM PERFORMANCE WHEN INSTITUTIONS ARE WEAK: A STUDY OF CHINESE PUBLICLY LISTED FIRMS
Research summary: A firm's strategic investments in knowledge-based assets through research and development (R&D) can generate economic rents for the firm, and thus are expected to affect positively a firm's financial performance. However, weak protection of minority shareholders, weak property rights, and ineffective law enforcement can allow those rents to be appropriated disproportionately by a firm's powerful insiders such as large owners and top managers. Recent data on Chinese publicly listed firms during 2007-2012 were used to demonstrate that the expected positive relationship between knowledge assets and performance is weaker in transition economies when a firm fs ownership is highly concentrated and its managers have wide discretion. Moreover, rent appropriation by insiders was shown to vary with the levels of institutional development in which a firm operates. Managerial summary: Investing in knowledge-based intangible assets (e.g., R&D) is an important value-creation activity for the firm. Such value creation process can be facilitated by large shareholders and powerful managers, who can then take an advantageous position with critical insider information on these valuable intangible assets and therefore enjoy more opportunities to appropriate more value from them, leaving less value for other minority shareholders. The value distribution becomes increasingly skewed against minority shareholders when the institutional protection for them is weak. Indeed, in a large sample of Chinese publicly listed firms, we found that R&D investment becomes less positively associated with firm financial performance with the presence of large shareholders, high managerial equity, or CEO/Chairman duality, especially in Chinese provinces with weak institutional development.

Is Intellectual Property Beneficial to Knowledge Management? Literature Review on Organizational Knowledge Protection
Since the technological process is shorter, organizations consider intellectual property rights (IPR) protection of knowledge is unnecessary. Prior studies have paid concentration to protect technological entrepreneurship and physical assets rather than intangible assets like knowledge. This paper seeks to analyze the function of IPR with knowledge management (KM) as an aid to protect knowledge. It also designs the formal and informal intellectual property (IP) act in organizational knowledge protection. Former research primarily concerned on formal IPR but the value of informal IP protection is also defended. The methodology adopted was literature research and provided some particular comprehensive suggestions. There is a provided conceptual framework that represents the true scenario of research. Thus, it assists organizations in highlighting the situation in which informal IP is possibly more beneficial. The informal IP is easy, simple to manage, and cost-effective to use, which is an important aspect of the everyday activities of an organization.

Determinants of Intellectual Property Rights Protection in Asian Developing Countries
In the knowledge economy, intangible assets and intellectual property rights are increasingly recognized as a substance of competencies. As an emerging market of the world, Asian developing countries experience various issues related to intellectual property rights protection. Meanwhile, the current literature on intellectual property rights with an emphasis placed on Asia is quite scarce. Therefore, this study explores the determinants of the strength of intellectual property rights in 25 Asian developing countries during the 11-year period from 2006 to 2016. Using the fixed effects model (FEM) and random effects model (REM) with the Hausman test, the paper discovers the positive impacts of economic growth, trade openness, and WTO participation on the protection level of intellectual property rights. Unexpectedly, education is a negative determinant of intellectual property rights protection. This study aims to demonstrate the overall status quos of intellectual property rights regimes across Asian developing countries, so provide an important theoretical background for innovators, governments, and policymakers to design optimal intellectual property rights strategies.

(In)tangible Cultural Heritage and Religious Minorities: Legal Strategies for the Preservation of Religious Sites
In recent decades, religious spaces have increasingly become subject to heritage processes, encompassing both their tangible dimension and the emerging concept of intangible cultural heritage. This article examines the legal strategies available for protecting the (in)tangible cultural heritage that minority religious communities can employ to safeguard their religious sites. Focusing on the case of African-derived religions in Brazil, this study argues that the recognition of their (in)tangible heritage serves as a strategic legal instrument for protecting their religious spaces, despite the conflicts that such recognition may provoke. This article contributes to the field of cultural heritage law, engaging with religious studies and exploring the complexities of legally safeguarding minority cultural practices.
