Full Description
This book brings together, for the first time, a wealth of information about UK culture. It explains how the whole UK cultural sector operates; exploring the contribution of both publicly funded cultural activity and the "creative industries".
Part one explains how the cultural infrastructure works, how cultural policy is made and applied at local, national, European and international levels, and the conditions attached to cultural funding. Part two describes in detail the role and remit of the UK's cultural and media institutions, outlining what each does, how it operates, the sources of its funding and the nature and extent of its influence.
An appendix directs readers to public documents available from these institutions.
