Décrivez les principales caractéristiques de la politique/mesure:
Since 2013, the Publication Industry Promotion Agency of Korea has produced the ｢Rights Guide｣, which contains an introduction to the overseas publishing market, practical export methods and strategies, and successful cases to help domestic books to export. The basics edition covers overall information about exporting book copyrights. There are country-specific editions reflecting the publishing market environment in China, Southeast Asia, US and UK, and Latin America for the domestic publishers planning to expand in those specific markets. They provide export strategies by country and genre, contract procedures and formats of contracts, the status of various international book fairs and world publishers, and the status of domestic agencies. The basic edition and revised edition of the guide for the Chinese market were updated and distributed in 2020 and 2021 in consideration of the changed publishing market environment after COVID-19.
Furthermore, the need to support the export of domestic books ans book copyrights was further emphasized as the publishing industry accounted for 16.8% of the total content industry sales as of 2020, with Han Rivers’ “Vegetarian” winning the Man Booker Awards International Prize in 2016. Accordingly, the Publication Industry Promotion Agency of Korea is promoting 12 support projects as of 2021 by increasing the number of export support projects.
