Title: Comparing cultural policy
Description: "This book, based on the research and expertise of practitioners and scholars in the field of cultural policy, provides a broad-based, cross-cultural analysis of policy in two countries with very different cultural traditions. The authors move beyond cultural boundaries to define what is art and culture; explore the role of cultural policies in a nation's cultural development; and evaluate policy effectiveness and relevance. Case studies of organizations in art, music, dance, and drama, in both the United States and Japan, examine the elements that contribute to effective arts management and policy making."

"Arts managers, cultural policy makers, researchers, practitioners, and educators will find this an excellent resource that provides valuable teaching materials in the field of cultural policy and facilitates cross-cultural learning about arts management."--Jacket.
