Critical Cultural Policy Studies: A Reader brings together classic statements and contemporary views that illustrate how everyday culture is as much a product of policy and economic determinants as it is of creative and consumer impulses.
“Critical Cultural Policy Studies is a trailblazing collection of first-rate essays by the leading figures in media studies in North America, Britain, and Australia. As we enter the so-called Information Age, cultural policy is becoming a central political and social concern. These essays, splendidly edited by Justin Lewis and Toby Miller, will be required reading for all who negotiate with these issues.” Robert W. McChesney, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
“The contributors to this unabashed book of tendency bring to bear the progressive critical energies of cultural studies and political economy to the study and management of cultural provision in the arts, broadcasting, television, popular music, the Internet, and often neglected areas like sport and urban planning. The entry of progressives into the policy sphere aims at effective reform of state and market institutions in the direction of cultural rights and citizenship and greater parity for developing countries in international spheres of trade-in-culture. The goal is a more democratic cultural policy.” George Yúdice, New York University
