Cultural Policy: Perspectives on the Island of Ireland draws together a wide range of academic perspectives and disciplines that relate to cultural policy in the context of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Through the study of the unique context of this intertwined two-polity island, this collection examines the “situated” nature of cultural policy amongst people and place.
Featuring contributions on media, European integration, festivals, arts and education, sustainable development and cultural participation, and open up, the book opens an interdisciplinary dialogue on cultural policy studies in shared, local, regional and international contexts.
Of interest to scholars and reflective practitioners in cultural policy, arts and cultural management, the book is relevant for regions around the world.
"A particularly thoughtful and reflexive collection of contemporary cultural policy issues which, while rooted in a specific context, speak to a range of concerns being faced in very different global contexts. Highly recommended."
Kate Oakley, Professor of Cultural Policy, School of Culture & Creative Arts, University of Glasgow, UK.
"A timely and fascinating book on contemporary Ireland Cultural Policy studies, addressing pivotal issues ranging from working conditions of artists, ecologies of cultural production, disabilities and cultural participation, arts festivals, cultural events, cultural and audiovisual industries, to that of sustainability in arts. This is tremendously helpful for cross-cultural understanding and dialogues among local and international cultural policy scholars as well as practitioners in policy, arts, culture, and creativity."
Jerry C. Y. Liu, Professor at Graduate School of Arts Management and Cultural Policy, and Dean of Humanities, National Taiwan University of Arts.
