Cultural Governance in a Global Context: An International perspective on Arts Organizations

This original book explores the character of cultural governance of arts and cultural institutions in nine countries across five continents. Concerned with a literature base that assumes a ‘one-size fits all’ approach is the template for practice, each of the chapter authors analyse how cultural governance is managed within arts organizations in a range of countries to assess whether some locations are trying to apply unsuitable models. The chapters aim to discover and assess new practices to benefit the understanding of cultural governance and the arts sector which have as yet been excluded from the literature. As a collection of local accounts, this book offers a broad and rich perspective on managing cultural governance around the world.
