This title was first published in 2002. For many regions, 'culture'
is considered the only viable resource they have for economic
development. Neo-liberalist economics has become the dominant
paradigm across a wide range of cultural contexts, while the
cultural contingency of this paradigm itself has been obscured. In
offering an empirically grounded anthropological critique of these
issues, the volume makes an original contribution to the
international debate on culture and economy. The case studies shed
light on everyday practices used to establish culture's economic
'value', and concepts of 'culture' and 'economy' employed by policy
decision-makers are scrutinized through studies of strategies and
policies at various levels. Aspects of economy, such as the market,
are examined as cultural constructs in a historical context.
Illustrated by international case studies, the volume provides a
compelling and insightful survey of the theories and practices that
shape the polyvalent relationships between culture and economy in
the twenty-first century.
