Summary

Which are the key questions to be asked about cultural policy in the Europe of the twenty-first century? How is cultural policy at metropolitan, national and European level addressing recent developments that are complicating the cultural and social realities of contemporary Europe? This book offers an innovative assessment of these questions and aims to provoke debates about the way forward for cultural policy in Europe. Based on extensive theoretical and empirical research, this volume critically addresses the way in which cultural policy has evolved, and develops new conceptual and theoretical perspectives for re-imagining cultural change and complexity.
