Issue on "Policies and Governance for Sustainability in the Cultural Management Context"

The focus of this issue is on sustainability, broadly conceived; as more than the environment and preservation of natural resources. The guest editors Constance DeVereaux and Milena Dragicevic Sesic are interested in culture-led sustainable development, sustainability of culture and cultural identity, of art/practice and expression, sustainability of arts/cultural organizations, how cultural sustainability endorses the sustainability of culturally or socially divided communities, and reflection on innovative ways to sustain economies through cultural and creative entrepreneurship and their challenges. 

 

They are also interested in the sustainability of cultural policy and management research models, methods, and theories, sustainability in the inherent relationships between arts/culture and the environment, environment as the basis for cultural sustainability, sustainability of artists’ life, work, and related issues. We invite research and reflection on how the delivery of arts and culture events, and support of arts/culture, may negatively affect sustainability. The key is how cultural management and policy (together or individually) figure into sustainability. Finally, reflections on cultural sustainability in crisis times, such as the Covid pandemic, are welcome.
