Call for Papers:
The aim of the panel on Cultural Policy, Co-creation and Smart Development in Central and Eastern Europe addresses the frame of public policy and cultural planning, which are perceived as driving tools for smart development. We would like the relationship between arts, culture, creativity and government policies to be addressed under the umbrella of the 28th NISPAcee conference and to take a multi-actor approach to cultural policy analysis and management (policy design, implementation and learning).
The focus for the upcoming conference is to encourage researchers and practitioners to focus on various areas of cultural policy and its impact on co-creation and good governance development. It is obvious that the presenters will seek the answer to the following questions: What are the key barriers to and opportunities for good governance and citizens’ rights in cultural policy agendas and arenas? What are the key impacts of cultural policies on the level of co-creation? How do culture and creativity shape Europeanisation, globalisation and digitalisation?
Authors are welcome to present their paper proposals focused on:
- Cultural policies’ and creativity actors’ contribution to good governance.
- Governments’ incentives and approaches for the preparation and implementation of smart initiatives and culture-led development.
- The impact of cultural festivals (events) on Europeanisation, globalisation and digitalisation.
- European Capital of Culture: What works in practice and what are the results for cities coming from the central and eastern European region?
- Governance and citizens’ rights for cultural co-creation development.
Requirements for contributions:
We invite prospective presenters to focus either on case studies, comparative research, evaluation of impacts and effects or theoretical discussion of further perspectives to increase the practical relevance of the open panel and to develop the common knowledge base involvement of practitioners would be much appreciated. We therefore request presenters to add at least a few paragraphs of their papers focusing on the practical relevance of their papers. Papers written in cooperation between practitioners and researchers are very welcome. Points for practitioners in each paper proposal are required.
