在加拿大，视听和印刷业被称为文化产业，而美国则将其称为娱乐产业。这些语言差异伴随着不同的国内政策和政治话语。美国对这些活动采取相对开放的政策，而加拿大则采取内向的态度。由于未能将文化产业纳入北美自由贸易协定和世贸组织，加拿大和美国之间在版权、电视许可、媒体暴力和歧视性杂志政策等方面引发了贸易争端，这表明需要一个商定的程序来解决文化贸易争端。《文化无事生非》探讨了不同的政策组合——文化民族主义与开放选择——以及在技术发展以及涉及贸易、投资、版权和劳工运动的国际协议背景下由此产生的冲突。加拿大文化产业受到审查，从电影和电视制作和发行到广播、出版和录音。最近发生冲突的几个领域，例如《体育画报》、乡村音乐电视和博德斯图书，突出了有争议的政策类型、遵循的过程以及得出的结论。最后，作者提出了一种通过国际协议来约束国家文化政策的替代方法，这种方法可以在服务于合法文化问题的同时实现开放带来的收益。本书由文化领域贸易争端方面的知名专家撰写，对于对文化产业感兴趣的国际经济学家、政策制定者和律师来说将是必读的读物。基思·艾奇逊（Keith Acheson）和克里斯托弗·莫尔（Christopher Maule）是安大略省卡尔顿大学的经济学教授。
In Canada, the audio-visual and print industries are referred to as the cultural industries, whereas the United States calls them the entertainment industries. These language distinctions are accompanied by different domestic policies and political discourses. The United States has relatively open policies toward these activities, while Canada has adopted an inward-looking approach. Failure to integrate cultural industries into NAFTA and WTO has led to trade disputes between Canada and the United States over copyrights, television licensing, violence in media, and discriminatory magazine policy, indicating the need for an agreed-upon process for settling cultural trade disputes."Much Ado about Culture" explores the differing sets of policies--cultural nationalism versus the open option--and the resulting conflicts in the context of technological developments as well as international agreements dealing with trade, investment, copyright, and labor movements. The Canadian cultural industries are examined, from film and television production and distribution to broadcasting, publishing, and sound recording. Several areas of recent conflict, such as "Sports Illustrated," Country Music Television, and Borders Books, highlight the types of policies disputed, the process followed, and the conclusions reached. Finally, the authors propose an alternative approach to constraining national cultural policies by international agreement that would allow the gains from openness to be realized while serving legitimate cultural concerns.Authored by the acknowledged experts on trade disputes in the cultural arena, this book will be essential reading for international economists, policymakers, and lawyers interested in the cultural industries.Keith Acheson and Christopher Maule are Professors of Economics, Carleton University, Ontario.
