International Journal of Cultural Policy
vol. 12 (1), 2006

  The highlight in this issue is the paper by Kawashima on audience development and social inclusion in relation to access policies; approaching the topic from a sociological point of view, he shows how one of the inherent functions of culture is precisely to legitimise and enhance social inequality which requires rather a different, a target-led policy approach.

Also of interest is the article by Selwood who examines the role of cultural policy research in public policy making under the Labour government in the United Kingdom. Neelands et al. critically study British cultural policy, focusing on the contradiction between key social objectives and the faith in the market.

An online version is available for users within the Council of Europe. Please contact the information manager at culturedoc@coe.int for access modalities.
