Cultural policy research
ideas, institutions, and interests
Jonathan Paquette, Eleonora Redaelli
pp. 77-91
In our attempts to situate and define cultural policy research in the previous chapter, we sided with political science and policy studies to formulate what is often seen as a basic definition and understanding of cultural policies. Cultural policy is seen and defined as the outcome of a state-driven process. Needless to say this is only one of many ways of approach cultural policy. As there are no agreed upon definitions of what culture is in the humanities and social sciences, there is no unanimous definition of what cultural policy is. This is, however, common currency in any discussion about the nature of cultural policy research, and by stating this we are only reiterating what is in evidence for most of us. In this chapter, we illustrate how cultural policy research is subjected to a multidisciplinary account.
