[ecrea] Cultural Trends - Conference Update

> Cultural Trends: One Day Conference - Centre/Periphery: Devolution/Federalism
> New Trends in Cultural Policy
> City University, Friday 16th October 2009
> Cultural Trends, the journal that champions the 
> need for better evidence-based analyses of the 
> cultural sector, is delighted to announce that 
> its second one-day international conference is now open to delegates.
> The tension between the power and resources at 
> the centre and the interests and ambitions of 
> the periphery is a long-standing issue in 
> cultural policy. This tension has strongly been 
> in play during the years of the Labour 
> government. The United Kingdom has witnessed 
> simultaneously the decline of regionalism and 
> the rise of devolved governments that are using 
> experiments in cultural policy as their first 
> exercises in independence from London. Other 
> countries in Europe and the wider world, 
> however, have longer experience of cultural 
> devolution, regionalism and federalism.
> This conference interrogates these concepts in 
> the context of the UK cultural sector, and asks 
> what lessons overseas models may have for us. 
> Selected papers consider aspects of the 
> situation in Canada,  England, France, Israel, 
> Italy, Lithuania, Philippines, Poland, Scotland and Spain.
