Internationalising Creative Industries: China, the WTO and the Knowledge-based Economy

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project investigates the challenges facing the creative industries internationally as the rationales for government support and industry development are seen variously as cultural, as part of the burgeoning services sector, and/or as contributing to the knowledge-based economy. To place the creative industries in an international frame, comparing developed countries? policy and industry strategies with those of China, the most important developing country, after its admission to the WTO, is a significant conceptual advance and innovation not attempted before. Australia will benefit from international comparisons of industry strategy and growth and from strategic knowledge of China's creative economy dynamics.
