Cultural Political Economy of Small Cities (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Lorentzen, Anne; Heur, Bas van

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The volume highlights ongoing changes in the political economy of small cities in relation to the field of culture and leisure. Culture and leisure are focal points both to local entrepreneurship and to planning by city governments, which means that these developments are subject to market dynamics as well as to political discourse and action. Public-private partnerships as well as conflicts of interests characterise the field, and a major issue related to the strategic development of culture and leisure is the balance between market and welfare.
