Europeanization and the Eu Cultural Policy: European Capitals of Culture

Europeanization and the Eu Cultural Policy: European Capitals of Culture

Kiran Klaus Patel
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Culture is one of the most complex and contested fields of European integration. This book analyzes EU cultural politics, both at the central as well as at local levels, since their emergence in the 1980s with a particular focus on the European Capital of Culture program, the flagship of EU cultural policy.

Based on this notion of Europeanization, the main focus of this book is on how questions of Europeanness are negotiated in the context of European cultural policies in a whole host of settings. The book goes beyond the confines of official organizations and the political sphere, to discuss the contribution, impact and appropriation among a more diverse group of actors and participants, such as transnational experts, local bureaucrats, cultural managers, urban dwellers and the visitors. Its principal aim is to debunk the myth of Brussels as the centre of cultural Europeanization. Instead, it argues that European cultural policy has to be seen as a relational, multi-directional movement, involving a wide variety of stakeholders and leading to conflicts and collaborations at various levels. This book combines the perspectives of political scientists, sociologists, anthropologists and historians, at the intersection between EU, urban, and cultural studies, and changes our understanding of Europeanization by opening up new empirical and conceptual avenues.

Challenging the dominant interpretation of European cultural policies, "The Cultural Politics of Europe" will be of interest to students and scholars of European studies, political scientists, sociologists, anthropologists, geographers, historians and cultural studies.
