Cultural Policy: Perspectives on the Island of Ireland draws together a wide range of academic perspectives and disciplines that relate to cultural policy in the context of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Through the study of the unique context of this intertwined two-polity island, this collection examines the “situated” nature of cultural policy amongst people and place.

Featuring contributions on media, European integration, festivals, arts and education, sustainable development and cultural participation, and open up, the book opens an interdisciplinary dialogue on cultural policy studies in shared, local, regional and international contexts.

Of interest to scholars and reflective practitioners in cultural policy, arts and cultural management, the book is relevant for regions around the world.
