What is it about?
The story of arts and cultural policy in the twenty-first century is inherently of global concern no matter how local it seems. At the same time, questions of identity have in many ways become more challenging than before. Narrative, Identity, and the Map of Cultural Policy: Once Upon a Time in a Globalized World explores how and why stories and identities sometimes merge and often clash in an arena in which culture and policy may not be able to resolve every difficulty. The book offers a wide-ranging history and justification for narrative frameworks as an approach to cultural policy and open up a wider field of discussion about the ways in which cultural politics and cultural identity are being deployed and interpreted in the present, with deep roots in the past.

Why is it important?
The book establishes the importance of narrative tools for understanding arts and cultural policy, and the influence of globalization and transnationalism on cultural policy. The book will be of great interest policy theorists and practitioners, arts and cultural management scholars and practitioners as well as to students of narrative and students of arts and cultural policy.
Perspectives
The influence of narrative, as a structure of thinking, has been little investigated in the area of arts and cultural policy. This book introduces readers to a number of problems for cultural policy that arise as the result of the general lack of awareness of narrative influences.
