Sea and Culture: Policy and Law
Course ID: M04013YM
Credits: 2
Course Prerequisites: None
Course Description and Goals:
The combination of marine policy and cultural policy seem to be emerging as a new research area of independent interest. While there is no conclusive definition, the research area mainly covers issues referring to underwater cultural heritage, intangible marine cultural heritage and marine cultural industry. This course starts with a comprehensive overview of the theory and development of marine policy and cultural policy, and then discusses the aforementioned three major areas from both a domestic and international point of view. The course aims to provide students with enough background knowledge to undertake their academic development, hoping that students have a complete picture of controversial topics.
