摘要本研究比较了挪威、美国和日本的文化政策、公共图书馆和公共领域。比较的结果表明，挪威强调物理会议空间和公共领域。在日本，更强调文学的公共领域。挪威和日本拥有强大的中央治理结构，这影响了公共图书馆在公共领域的运作。在美国，文化政策管理更加分散和地方化。没有一项与公共图书馆有关的明确的国家文化政策。在美国，公共图书馆在公共领域的合法性是强有力的，并发生在当地。美国的公共图书馆较少被用作公共领域的基础设施，更多地用于教育和娱乐目的。这一比较的结果对于从国际文化政策的角度理解公共图书馆和公共领域具有重要意义。
ABSTRACT This study compares cultural policy, public libraries, and the public sphere in Norway, the United States, and Japan. Results of the comparison indicate that Norway emphasizes physical meeting spaces and the public sphere. In Japan, there is more emphasis on the literary public sphere. Norway and Japan have strong centralized governance structures, which influence how public libraries function in the public sphere. In the US, cultural policy administration is more diffuse and local. There is not an explicit national cultural policy related to public libraries. In the US, legitimation of public libraries in the public sphere is strong and occurs locally. Public libraries in the US are used less as public sphere infrastructure and more for educational and recreation purposes. The results of this comparison are significant for understanding public libraries and the public sphere from an international cultural policy perspective.
