In cooperation with the International Journal of Cultural Policy

DOWNLOAD PDF VERSION

Researchers are invited to submit proposals for paper presentations. Proposals from any relevant discipline will be considered, provided they make an original academic contribution to the study of cultural policy. Proposals based on research that is primarily 'instrumental' (such as market research) or on research designed for the purposes of advocating a preconceived institutional position will not be accepted. This does not exclude applied research of high academic quality.

Although ICCPR 2008 will consider proposals for the investigation of any aspect of cultural policy (see Main Page), it particularly seeks proposals for research papers on the following topics:

• Cultural policy and globalisation
• Cultural policy, religion and secularism
• Intellectuals and cultural policy
• Politics of cultural policy
• Cultural policy and values
• Historiographies of cultural policy
• Cultural policy in Mediterranean countries
• Comparative cultural policy
• Cultural policy and cultural industries
• Artist policy
• Creativity and the city
• Cultural policy and development policy
• Cultural policy as welfare policy
• Culture and economy
• Cultural policy, cultural diplomacy and international relations
• Cultural Participation
