Guide to Citizen Participation in Local Cultural Policy Development for European Cities
Pascual i Ruiz, Jordi, Dragojevic, Sanjin, Bucharest, European Cultural Foundation, ECUMEST Association, Interarts Foundation. 2007 [68 p]
In this book, experts Jordi Pascual i Ruiz and Sanjin Dragojevic explore the conceptual framework and the theories behind citizen participation in local cultural policy development and the mechanisms of how participation can be realised on the city level. The guide, benefiting also from contributions from Corina Suteu (foreword) and Philipp Dietachmair (introduction), aims at identifying evidence in the field of participative cultural policymaking in Europe, concretely naming the decision actors in local cultural policies of today. At the same time it puts forward the theoretical premises that frame the future evolution of local urban policies - those that directly influence the individual’s level of cultural participation and well being.
