Global Cultural Economy critically interrogates the role cultural
and creative industries play in societies. By locating these
industries in their broader cultural and economic contexts,
Christiaan De Beukelaer and Kim-Marie Spence combine their
repertoires of empirical work across four continents to define the
'cultural economy' as the system of production, distribution, and
consumption of cultural goods and services, as well as the
cultural, economic, social, and political contexts in which it
operates. Each chapter introduces and discusses a different theme,
such as inclusion, diversity, sustainability, and ownership,
highlighting the tensions around them to elicit an active
engagement with possible and provisional solutions. The themes are
explored through case studies including Bollywood, Ghanaian music,
the Korean Wave, Jamaican Reggae, and the UN Creative Economy
Reports. Written with students, researchers, and policy-makers in
mind, Global Cultural Economy is ideal for anyone interested in the
creative and cultural industries, media and cultural studies,
cultural policy, and development studies.
