Call for Papers
The aim of the panel on Cultural Policy, Citizens and Collaborative Governance for Smart Development in Central and Eastern Europe addresses the frameworks of public policy and cultural planning, which are perceived as the driving tools for smart development. We would like relations between the arts, culture, citizens, creativity, and government policies to be addressed under the umbrella of the 29th NISPAcee conference and to take an empowerment approach to cultural policy analysis and management.
The focus for the upcoming conference is to encourage researchers, as well as practitioners, to concentrate on the various areas of cultural policy and their impact on collaborative governance development. It is obvious that the presenters will seek answers to the following questions: What are the key barriers and opportunities of good governance and citizens’ rights in cultural policy agendas and arenas? What are the key impacts of cultural policies at the level of collaborative governance?
How do culture and creativity shape Europeanisation, innovation and empowerment?
