Cultural Policy Under New Labour

项目摘要

This research examines cultural policy during the three Labour administrations of 1997 to 2010. The CONTEXT of the research is as follows. Cultural policy has always been informed by a mixture of economic, social and cultural goals. But many commentators have argued that a great deal of public policy since the 1980s has been increasingly directed by economic rationales such as national competiveness, efficiency and wealth generation rather than by social goals such as participation, equality and diversity. In this context, some analysts have noted that cultural policy has increasingly been oriented by economic and social goals. Given that cultural policy is obviously oriented towards cultural goals, such as providing access to means of expression and to aesthetic objects and artefacts, this raises the possibility that such traditional goals of cultural policy might be in tension with economic goals. The research investigates the nature of such potential contradictions during the New Labour era, and how potential conflicts were negotiated and understood. We focus on three particular areas or sub-sectors of cultural policy in order to address these issues and to make comparisons: creative industries policy, copyright policy and arts policy. The AIMS AND OBJECTIVES of the research are as follows:Firstly, we aim to provide an explanatory account of cultural policy under the Labour government of 1997 to 2010, emphasising relationships between economic, social and cultural rationalesOne major way in which we seek to provide such an explanatory account is by identifying the key people involved, and conceptualising the factors constraining and enabling their actions. We also seek to identify the key relations between the major players - for example, what kinds of social links and ties there might be, in the form of shared university and employment backgrounds, allegiance to particular political causes and groups, etc.A third objective follows: to investigate the potential fruitfulness of applying public policy analysis developed in other areas such as health and welfare to the analysis of cultural policyFourthly, we aim to make comparisons across the major elements (sub-sectors) of cultural policy identified above (i.e., creative industries, copyright and arts policy) during this period. This means exploring how the key people in different sectors might pursue different mixes of economic, social and cultural goals. Some areas of policy may for example be more economically or socially oriented than others (copyright, for example, is integral to economic development, and this may mean that policy-makers emphasise economic goals at the expense of cultural ones). Finally, we aim to analyse the techniques and strategies (such as law-making, regulation and subsidy) that states and political parties use to pursue their goals in the realm of cultural policy.We envisage the following POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS AND BENEFITS. In an era of deep public spending cuts, with the arts and cultural sectors particularly vulnerable, there is widespread concern that the basis on which such decisions are made, or the implications for other government departments and public policy priorities, are not fully understood. This research will provide better understanding, for researchers, policy-makers and members of the public, of the links between cultural policy and other policy considerations, as well as an improved understanding of the non-state actors included in cultural policy making, at a time when this area is subject to unprecedented scrutiny.

本研究考察了1997年至2010年三届工党政府的文化政策。研究的背景如下。文化政策总是以经济、社会和文化目标为基础。但许多评论家认为，自1980年代以来，许多公共政策越来越多地以国家竞争力、效率和创造财富等经济理由为指导，而不是以参与、平等和多样性等社会目标为指导。在这方面，一些分析家指出，文化政策越来越以经济和社会目标为导向。鉴于文化政策显然是面向文化目标的，例如提供获得表达手段和审美物品和手工艺品的机会，这就提出了文化政策的这种传统目标可能与经济目标相矛盾的可能性。这项研究调查了新工党时代这种潜在矛盾的性质，以及如何谈判和理解潜在的冲突。为了解决这些问题并进行比较，我们重点关注文化政策的三个特定领域或子部门：创意产业政策，版权政策和艺术政策。本研究的目的和意义如下：第一，我们的目标是提供一个解释性的说明，1997年至2010年工党政府的文化政策，强调经济，社会和文化理性之间的关系，我们试图提供这样一个解释性的说明的一个主要方式是通过确定关键的参与者，并概念化的因素，限制和使他们的行动。我们还试图确定主要参与者之间的关键关系-例如，可能存在何种社会联系和纽带，以共同的大学和就业背景，效忠特定的政治事业和团体等形式存在。研究将公共政策分析在其他领域（如卫生和福利）应用于文化分析的潜在成果。第四，我们的目标是对上述文化政策的主要要素（分部门）进行比较（即，艺术、文化、艺术等方面的政策）。这意味着探讨不同部门的关键人物如何追求经济、社会和文化目标的不同组合。例如，某些政策领域可能比其他领域更注重经济或社会方面（例如，版权是经济发展的组成部分，这可能意味着政策制定者强调经济目标而牺牲文化目标）。最后，我们旨在分析国家和政党在文化政策领域追求其目标所使用的技术和策略（如立法，监管和补贴）。我们设想了以下潜在的应用和好处。在一个大幅削减公共开支的时代，艺术和文化部门尤其脆弱，人们普遍担心，作出这些决定的基础，或对其他政府部门和公共政策优先事项的影响，没有得到充分理解。这项研究将使研究人员、政策制定者和公众更好地了解文化政策与其他政策考虑之间的联系，并使他们更好地了解参与文化政策制定的非国家行为者，因为这一领域正受到前所未有的审查。
