ABSTRACT
This conclusion chapter provides some of the closing thoughts of the book. The book argues that despite Russia's lingering diversity, it is experiencing moves towards cultural homogenisation. In exploring the application of minority policies in the area of cultural rights, one needs to consider both endogenous and exogenous elements. The application of international standards stems from processes of legal transplantation, or the incorporation of external norms into the domestic sphere. The types of legal transfer analysed in the book involves a set of international legal commitments, voluntarily entered into, that are integrated into domestic law in an attempt to incorporate international and domestic legal principles into one functioning mechanism. The book's findings concludes that the success of legal transplants cannot be found solely in external influence imposed on a vaguely compliant but reluctant state, but rather in internal factors, and in a government's perception of benefits resulting from being a member of the international community.
