In any policy arena, the crafting of effective policy depends on
the quality of the information infrastructure that is available to
the participants in that arena. Such an information infrastructure
is designed, developed, and managed as a critical element in policy
formulation and implementation. While various attempts have been
made to map the extent of the existing cultural policy information
infrastructure in the United States, no structured attempt has been
made to conduct a cross-national analysis intended to draw on the
more highly developed models already in operation elsewhere.A
cross-national comparative look provides valuable information on
how this infrastructure has evolved, on what has succeeded and what
has had less success, on what is sustainable and what is not, and
on how the range of interests of the various individuals and
institutions involved in the cultural policy arena can best be
accommodated through careful design of the information
infrastructure.In Informing Cultural Policy, international cultural
policy scholar and researcher J. Mark Schuster relates the findings
of a study that took him from North America to Europe to gain
understanding of the cultural policy information infrastructure in
place abroad. His findings are structured into a taxonomy that
organizes the array of research and information models operating
throughout the world into a logical framework for understanding how
the myriad cultural agencies collect, analyze, and disseminate
cultural policy data. Schuster discusses private- and public-sector
models, including research divisions of government cultural funding
agencies, national statistics agencies, independent nonprofit
research institutes, government-designated university-based
research centers, private consulting firms, cultural
"observatories," non-institutional networks, research programs, and
publications. For each case study undertaken, the author provides
the Internet address, names, and information for key contacts, and
background documents consulted.
