This book investigates the activities undertaken by the variety of
actors that contribute to accomplishing cultural policy in Europe.
These range from policy formulation and administration at the
national and local levels, to artistic and cultural production
activities to institutional governance. Arts and culture are an
essential component to individual and collective quality of life.
States, regions and municipalities increasingly recognize this
intrinsic importance, as well as the instrumental values of the
arts and culture. This has led to an increased interest in cultural
policy, usually focusing on the policy process and policy effects.
How cultural policy is accomplished is a matter of correspondingly
increased importance, but less researched and understood. This
volume shows how accomplishing cultural policy encompasses a vast
expanse of activities, all unique but bound together as part of the
continuous process of producing publicly subsidized art and culture
for social and aesthetic purposes. The chapters also explore a
range of thematic tensions that commonly arise in accomplishing
cultural policy, such as the commercialization of arts and culture
and counter-reactions; the challenges and means of promoting
inclusiveness; the politics and effects of funding of the arts and
culture; and good governance and vested interests in the arts and
culture. Read together, these vivid case studies present a broad
and unique picture of the wider and interconnected accomplishing
process by expounding on the middle-ground between the policy
formulation process and artistic and cultural production. Adding a
novel conceptual formulation to studies of cultural policy, this
book will appeal to practitioners, scholars and advanced students
with interests in the sociology of the arts and culture, arts and
culture management, cultural policy and cultural governance.
