International Journal of Cultural Policy (IJCP)

The International Journal of Cultural Policy is a peer reviewed journal that provides an outlet for a multidisciplinary and international exploration of the meaning, function and consequences of cultural policies. Cultural policy is understood as the promotion or disparagement of particular cultural practices and values. This conception of cultural policy encompasses a broad view of both ‘culture’ and ‘policy’. On the one hand, ‘culture’ may be taken to refer to systems or clusters of attitudes, values and behaviours, along with the symbolic practices that maintain or support them. On the other, it may refer more narrowly to products of the arts, heritage and creative and media industries. ‘Policy’ may be considered as programmatic sets of ideas or plans of action pursued by any agency. Understood in this way, the scope of cultural policy extends well beyond policies which are explicitly labelled ‘cultural’ or which relate specifically to the ‘cultural and creative sector’. Indeed, the most powerful culture-shaping policies are arguably those which emerge from other domains, such as religion, science, education or trade. Yet they are often overlooked in the study of cultural policy.
