‘This Handbook not only re-thinks and re-conceptualizes the dimensions of global cultural
policy studies, but also documents up-to-date policy cases from global north to global
south.’
—Anthony Fung, Professor, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
and Beijing Normal University, China
‘Research and scholarship in cultural policy has grown in recent years alongside a continu-
ing expansion in the interpretation of the concept at a practical policy-making level. How
do these developments play out in an increasingly globalised world? This volume brings
together a wide range of original essays that consider the political, economic, sociological
and cultural dimensions of cultural policy in a context of globalisation and international
cultural relations. The contributors are drawn from a variety of disciplines, intellectual tra-
ditions and geographical origins. Based on a thoughtful division of the subject matter into
coherent sections, and edited by acknowledged leaders in the field, the book will appeal to
scholars, researchers and policy-makers concerned about culture and policy in international
affairs today.’
—David Throsby, Distinguished Professor of Economics, Macquarie University, Australia
‘A must-have for any arts and culture scholar, this book provides a walkthrough of the
“weird, wired world” of cultural policies around the globe, plus a foundational survey of
their roots, theories and practices, from the field’s chief protagonists.’
—Abigail Gilmore, Senior Lecturer, Arts Management and
Cultural Policy, University of Manchester, UK

The Routledge Handbook
of Global Cultural Policy
Cultural policy intersects with political, economic, and socio-cultural dynamics at all l evels
of society, placing high and often contradictory expectations on the capabilities and c apacities
of the media, the fine, performing, and folk arts, and cultural heritage. These expectations
are articulated, mobilised and contested at – and across – a global scale. As a result, the study
of cultural policy has firmly established itself as a field that cuts across a range of academic
disciplines, including sociology, cultural and media studies, economics, anthro pology, area
studies, languages, geography, and law. This Routledge Handbook of Global Cultural Policy sets
out to broaden the field’s consideration to recognise the necessity for international and global
perspectives.
The book explores how cultural policy has become a global phenomenon. It brings
together a diverse range of researchers whose work reveals how cultural policy expresses and
realises common global concerns, dominant narratives, and geopolitical economic and s ocial
inequalities. The sections of the book address cultural policy’s relation to core academic
disciplines and core questions, of regulations, rights, development, practice, and global issues.
With a cross-section of country-by-country case studies, this comprehensive volume is a
map for academics and students seeking to become more globally orientated cultural policy
scholars.
