Cultural Policy and democracy: an introduction
International Journal of Cultural Policy, 2012Co-Authors: Geir VestheimAbstract:Departing from reflections on the terrorist attack in Oslo 22 July 2011 as an attack on democracy as a political system, the author discusses the premise for the special issue on ‘Cultural Policy and Democracy' of the International Journal of Cultural Policy. Then follows a short presentation of the transition from autocracy to liberal democracy and different models of Cultural Policy within the frames of liberal democracies. Four principal democratic dimensions of Cultural Policy are defined and discussed, and the article ends with a short editorial comment to all other articles published in this issue.

Contradicting Cultural Policy : A comparative study of the Cultural Policy of the Scandinavian radical right
2015Co-Authors: Linnéa LindsköldAbstract:Culture is a central concept for the Scandinavian radical right parties, but little research has been done on the Cultural Policy of these parties. This article is a comparative overview of the party programs of three Scandinavian radical right parties published during the latest decade. It relates the Cultural policies of the radical right to the predominantly welfare-based corporatist Cultural Policy of the Scandinavian countries. Through a discursive Policy analysis two problem representations have been identified: The view of multiCulturalism as a threat to national culture and the view that public funding is a threat to freedom. The parties share a common understanding of Cultural Policy, with minor differences. There is an underlying conflict in the discourse: While the parties argue that the political governance of art needs to be limited, they are, at the same time, deeply involved in how Cultural expressions and Cultural life should be defined. By shedding light on the radical right Cultural Policy agenda it may be possible to politicize the Cultural Policy discourse overall and acknowledge the ideological dimension of Cultural Policy.

Social engineering and Cultural Policy – theoretical and empirical reflexions from Swedish Cultural Policy in a historical perspective
International Journal of Cultural Policy, 2017Co-Authors: Roger BlomgrenAbstract:AbstractThis article explores the influence of social engineering in various forms within Swedish Cultural Policy, seen in a historical perspective. In social engineering Cultural Policy measures, reforms and projects are justified by scientifically based research rather than party based ideological arguments. Karl Popper’s classification of the utopian and the step-by-step engineering make up the starting point, redefined as paternalistic engineering, welfare state engineering and utilitarian engineering in order to apply these ideas to Cultural Policy. Social engineering was predominant in Swedish Cultural Policy mainly during the post war period. In the 1950s as well as in the 1970s this engineering takes on a paternalistic character, in the struggle against injurious culture, such as video violence. Current practice of paternalistic engineering is directed at revealing and identifying invisibles structures in the field of Cultural heritage. The welfare state engineering had its highlights in the plann...

Regional Cultural Policy in Sweden: Empirical Results, Theoretical Understandings and Consequences for Cultural Policy Research
2014Co-Authors: Roger Blomgren, Jenny JohannissonAbstract:With this paper, we aim to instigate a discussion on the relevance of existing models and classifications in Cultural Policy research when wanting to explore regional Cultural Policy in Sweden. We assess the models and classifications that we deem to be most influential in English-speaking Cultural Policy research and find that although they have many benefits, they are not fully adequate when wanting to understand place-specific aspects and variation in regional Cultural Policy. We then move on to presenting findings from our own studies on Swedish regional Cultural Policy that make this critique relevant. We conclude with identifying the need not only for middle-range theories that are more apt when exploring local variation, but also for more empirical studies that from a comparative perspective can contribute to in-depth knowledge of the internal power structures of the Cultural Policy field.

Autonomy or democratic Cultural Policy: that is the question.
International Journal of Cultural Policy, 2012Co-Authors: Roger BlomgrenAbstract:This article argues that the concept of democracy, i.e. a political system that reflects the will of the people either directly or through representatives, is never or very seldom emphasised as an essential value in Cultural Policy debates or in Cultural Policy research. Instead the concept of autonomy is often put forward as the principal value when Cultural policies are debated. Autonomy is central to many democratic theories and in Cultural matters it is often described as the arm’s length principle. In this article, I will lean on institutional theories to discuss and explain why democracy in the classical sense never has been put forward as an important value and why autonomy usually is. I will also undertake a critical examination of the autonomy concept, as it has been defined in Cultural Policy.

Thinking Spatially in Cultural Policy
Sociology of the Arts, 2019Co-Authors: Eleonora RedaelliAbstract:This book is an investigation of the arts in American cities and analyzes how Cultural Policy studies scholars and Policymakers have been thinking about this connection. In particular, I look at the urban Cultural Policy discourse through the lens of space, unpacking how academia and cities’ administrations have accounted for and acted upon the geographic configuration of the arts and their spatial relations. This chapter provides an overview of the debate within which this examination takes place starting with an illustration of Cultural Policy research and urban Policy studies focused on the creative city. After the contextualization of the discussion, this chapter structures the theoretical framework of the book that aims to contribute to the debate using the lens of thirdspace to help think spatially about urban Cultural Policy. The chapter concludes with an overview of the book that describes the intended audience, the overall organization I begin my exploration of the connection between arts and place with the concept of Cultural planning structure of each chapter.

Cultural Policy as Conventional Public Policy
Arts Management and Cultural Policy Research, 2015Co-Authors: Jonathan Paquette, Eleonora RedaelliAbstract:There are many different research traditions that claim ownership of Cultural Policy as an object of study. The most conventional approach to Cultural Policy research used by these traditions consists of approaching Cultural Policy through the lenses of political scientists or public Policy researchers — meaning that Cultural Policy is given no specific status and is seen as a “Policy area or subfield” among others (environmental Policy foreign Policy immigration Policy, transport Policy fiscal Policy social Policy etc.). This approach builds on concepts, theories, and methods that rarely differ from those used to study other Policy areas — from environmental Policy to social Policy, regardless of how unique or different these Policy fields might be, the outlook and methods used to analyze them are often similar. This lens on Cultural Policy has been considerably influential in the development of the field and has contributed to a better understanding of national, regional, and local Cultural policies. Additionally, the tools developed by this approach for comparative analysis and program evaluation have led to a rich practice of collaboration and knowledge dissemination between academia, governments, think tanks, and the broader arts community. Of course, this conception of Cultural Policy falls short at times, and many Cultural Policy researchers who are interested in some of the more specific dynamics of culture may consider this conventional approach to be oblivious to a number of important debates in Cultural Policy research.

Cultural Policy Research: Ideas, Institutions, and Interests
Arts Management and Cultural Policy Research, 2015Co-Authors: Jonathan Paquette, Eleonora RedaelliAbstract:In our attempts to situate and define Cultural Policy research in the previous chapter, we sided with political science and Policy studies to formulate what is often seen as a basic definition and understanding of Cultural policies. Cultural Policy is seen and defined as the outcome of a state-driven process. Needless to say this is only one of many ways of approach Cultural Policy. As there are no agreed upon definitions of what culture is in the humanities and social sciences, there is no unanimous definition of what Cultural Policy is. This is, however, common currency in any discussion about the nature of Cultural Policy research, and by stating this we are only reiterating what is in evidence for most of us. In this chapter, we illustrate how Cultural Policy research is subjected to a multidisciplinary account.
