About this book
Reviews
“In recent years, cultural policy research has been increasingly preoccupied by economics, planning, participation, and arts advocacy. Public Culture is an invitation to re-engage with the crucial question of identity in cultural policy research. This book confirms the originality and timeliness of Political Science's outlook on cultural policy.” (Jonathan Paquette, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Ottawa, Canada)
“Arguing that cultural polices are embedded in political values, Mulcahy explores the promotion of cultural identityin contrasting national and sub-national contexts. Demonstrating impressive intellectual range, Mulcahy deploys comparative perspectives to yield valuable, new insights into the political function of cultural policies.” (Oliver Bennett, Emeritus Professor of Cultural Policy, the University of Warwick, UK and Editor of International Journal of Cultural Policy)
“This book covers an extensive review of key topics of interest to readers and students of public policy, culture, ideology and identity and colonialism. Professor Mulcahy notes so well that culture is about human expression and identity as he explores in different international contexts, how policy and administration has varied in modality and effect as a reflection of broader political ideologies and administrative traditions. This book makes a valuable contribution to the literature on cultural policy in the broadest sense.” (Stephen Boyle, Associate Professor, University of South Australia, Australia)
