Are we aware of the values of craft? In this edited volume,
cultural economists, researchers and professionals provide an
interdisciplinary discussion of the relevance and contribution of
the craft sector to the economy, as well as to society at large.
Mignosa and Kotipalli bring together contributors to compare the
craft sector across countries, analysing the role of institutions,
educational bodies, organisations and market structure in its
evolution and perception. The Western approach to craft and its
subordinate position to the arts is contrasted with the prestige of
craftmanship in Eastern countries, while the differing ways that
craft has attracted the attention of policy agencies, museums,
designers and private institutions across regions is also analysed.
This volume is vital reading to those interested in the economic
features of craft and craftsmanship around the world, as well as
for those interested in the importance of policy in bringing about
effective sustainable development.
