Cultural Policy

Key Ideas in Media & Cultural Studies

by David J. Bell

David Bell and Kate Oakley survey the major debates emerging in cultural policy research, adopting an approach based on spatial scale to explore cultural policy in cities, nations and internationally. They contextualise these discussions with an exploration of what both culture and policy mean when they are joined together as cultural policy.

Drawing on topical examples and contemporary research, as well as their own experience in both academia and in consultancy, Bell and Oakley urge readers to think critically about the project of cultural policy as it is currently being played out around the world."

Cultural Policy" is a comprehensive and readable book that provides a lively, up-to-date overview of key debates in cultural policy, making it ideal for students of media and cultural studies, creative and cultural industries, and arts management."

This book is one of the reading-list for my third year course 'Cultural Policy'. What I like is the way Bell & Oakley trying to explain the terminologies and background concepts of CCIs. Actually, this book focuses on the 'economically' cultural rather than the 'socially' cultural policy. If you're interested in CCIs policy in any fields, this is the good start!
