Launch of New Book on Cultural Governance in the Routledge ENCATC Advances in Cultural Management and Policy Series
ENCATC announces the release of a significant addition to its book series in collaboration with Routledge. European Networks and Cultural Governance: How Culture Makes Policy by ENCATC Research Award winner Carlotta Scioldo is now available. This publication represents a vital contribution to the understanding of cultural policy and governance within the European Union. The book examines the transformative role cultural networks have played in shaping EU governance over the past 30 years. It explores how informal collaborations among cultural professionals have evolved into structured entities that influence cross-border cooperation and cultural policymaking.
This new publication provides:
- A detailed analysis of the impact of EU-funded cultural networks on local creative practices and policy discourse.
- Frameworks for understanding networks as agents of multilevel transformation within the EU.
- A reevaluation of traditional approaches to EU cultural policy, emphasizing networks as drivers of both symbolic and structural integration.
- Insights gained through a combination of institutional and ethnographic research, offering a comprehensive perspective on cultural governance.
An official launch event will take place in partnership with the Université libre de Bruxelles on 27 February 2025, offering an opportunity for scholars, policymakers, and cultural professionals to engage with the key findings and implications of the book.
European Networks and Cultural Governance is an essential resource for those involved in cultural policy, management, and research, as well as anyone interested in the evolving dynamics of cultural networks and governance in Europe.
