Abstract :
    This research examines the legal and cultural dimensions of the Eurovision Song Contest with an interdisciplinary approach. The findings show that the event has become more than a music competition, but also an arena for cultural interactions, intellectual property rights challenges, and public diplomacy. From a legal perspective, the study shows that although international frameworks such as the Berne Convention protect the rights of creators,But enforcement challenges in the field of digital rights and conflicting national laws still persist; in the cultural dimension, Eurovision has simultaneously fostered musical convergence and provided the opportunity to showcase indigenous cultural identities.This research, by analyzing qualitative data and legal documents, concluded that developing flexible legal mechanisms and paying attention to the role of cultural diplomacy can help improve countries performance in this international event. The study also shows that Eurovision serves as a valuable laboratory for examining the dynamics of cultural globalization.
