在不列颠群岛，国家艺术政策主要被视为艺术委员会的责任，其法定职责是分配符合“保持距离”原则和国家战略框架要求的国家资金。本文通过对苏格兰、英格兰和北方爱尔兰的艺术委员会（及类似机构）的比较研究，探讨了民族国家和“地方”的政策制定之间的紧张关系。通过对这些组织的高级代表进行深入的定性访谈，探讨了他们对“当地”的概念、责任和隶属关系。研究结果表明，尽管他们不同的模式和民族国家的关系，以及投资规模的差异，这些国家的政策机构通常依赖于网络化的治理，以促进他们的关系，以“当地”的风险再现国家利益，限制本地化机构的地方为基础的方法，并有助于文化政策内的竞争文化。
In the British Isles, national policies for the arts are primarily viewed as the responsibility of arts councils with statutory duties to distribute state funding that meet the requirements of both "arms-length" principles and national strategic frameworks. This paper explores the tensions between policy making for the nation-state and for "the local" through comparative research on the arts councils (and equivalent bodies) in Scotland, England and Northern Ireland. Drawing on in-depth qualitative interviews with senior representatives from these organisations, it explores their notions of, responsibilities to and affiliations with "the local". Findings suggest that despite their different models and relationships to the nation-state, and the disparities in the scale of investment, these national policy bodies commonly rely on networked governance to facilitate their relationship to "the local" which risks reproducing national interests, limiting the localised agency of place-based approaches and contributing to a culture of competition within cultural policy.
