The options and powers, which exist at Community level, for taking action in the sphere of culture - defined as education, science and culture in its narrower sense - are analyzed in this work. The book also covers the question of the EC's cultural jurisdiction, while particular attention has been paid to the question of the EC's power in the field of broadcasting. In order to consider the changes brought about by the Maastricht Treaty, the author has added a section on the Treaty of European Union.
