The aim is to examine regional cultural development as a counter-movement in the context of rising illiberalism around the world. It focuses on the cultural strategic approaches to decentralize and diversify cultural policies and emphasising cultural rights to all. This presentation examines the existing inclusion/exclusion factors. It examines the drafting process of regional cultural policies (2018-2020) to develop horizontal overarching strategies for the five distinctive regions of Malta (Southern Harbour, Central, South Eastern, Northern, and Gozo and Comino). This is framed in wider political processes. ; N/A

Wie kann Kulturpolitik so gestaltet werden, dass – im Sinne einer Cultural Governance – nicht nur Politik und nachgeordnet Verwaltung in Entscheidungsprozesse einbezogen sind, sondern auch die Betroffenen: Künstler_innen, Kulturschaffende, Bürger_innen? Welche Allianzen und Konflikte entstehen in Verhandlungssituationen? Und wie argumentieren Vertreter_innen von Politik, Verwaltung und Zivilgesellschaft? Anke Simone Schad entwickelt anhand der Beispiele Linz und Graz einen Rahmen für Governance-Analysen und bietet darüber hinaus Antworten auf die Fragen, woran Cultural Governance oft scheitert und wie gutes Regieren idealerweise aussehen könnte.

The shift in government concept into governance takes the consequence of changes in public governance including in the forestry sector. Good forest governance becomes a great hope for managing the forest condition so that sustainable forest management can be realized. However, in its implementation, it contains a big challenge for the forest in Indonesia which is mostly identical with indigenous people. Meanwhile, the development becomes a necessity that cannot be inhibited in which business corporation as the actor who plays in the forest governance is considered as a major threat to the environment and indigenous people. To achieve good forest governance, it is necessary to have a synergy with cultural governance that is hoped to be able to accommodate the indigenous people interests. This paper is a case study related to the practice as an effort to achieve good forest governance in the indigenous people of Pelalawan that are followed by the cultural governance effort so that the indigenous people culture of Pelalawan that is closely related to the forest can still be maintained.

This article provides an empirical investigation of the cooperation among intergovernmental organisations (IOs) in global cultural governance. The existing scientific literature has not yet taken up the inter-organisational cooperation as a serious topic of research and the present contribution aims to fill this gap. Based on an actor-centred constructivism, the article seeks to address inter-organisational cooperation as an observable empirical phenomenon, to explore when and why the cooperation between IOs risks not lasting and to understand why the dynamics of inter-organisational cooperation in cultural affairs have a specific-time limit. The focus will be on two cases: the European Union-Mercosur audiovisual programme and the United Nations interagency group on creative industries. As such, the article is more concerned with analysing the political micro-foundations through which the cooperation among IOs takes place and with exploring the factors, which contribute to not establish sustainable cooperative arrangements. ; Peer reviewed

The research of innovative educational models is, in the modern era, one of the topics of greatest interest in the pedagogical theorization. The education of young generations has always been the focal point of the social evolution and the economic and cultural growth of a people. A recent study by "TreeLLLe" highlights how, in today's educational landscape, the form of "learning to know" prevails significantly on the form of "learning to live with others". In this sense, it would be desirable to have greater interaction between social governanceand cultural governance. The Capability approach opens, in this direction, interesting reflections, combining capabilities and opportunities in the perspective of well being. In this context, cultural responsibility, social responsibility, political governance and cultural governance intersect each other, creating a subject conscious of "being" through a "social being". Thus, an "active space of education" is dominated by an eternal tension between "universal action" and "individual action". It is necessary to look for the birth of a renewed social and personal identity, capable of facing the challenges of an increasinglycomplex and planetary world. ; La ricerca di modelli pedagogici innovativi, capaci di rispondere alle contestuali esigenze educative dell'epoca moderna, rappresenta uno dei temi di maggiore interesse per il mondo della scuola e per la teorizzazione pedagogica. L'educazione delle giovani generazioni è da sempre l'elemento focale intorno a cui ruota l'evoluzione sociale e la crescita economica e culturale di un popolo. Una recente indagine condotta da "TreeLLLe" evidenzia come, nell'odierno panorama educativo, la forma dell'"imparare a conoscere" prevalga inmaniera significativa sulla forma dell'"imparare a vivere con gli altri". Sarebbe auspicabile, in tal senso, una maggiore interazione tra una governance sociale e una governance culturale. Il capability approach apre, in questa direzione, interessanti scenari di riflessione, coniugando capacità e ...

Este estudio promueve un debate sobre el vínculo entre gobernanza cultural y datos abiertos gubernamentales, una relación que puede contribuir a impulsar procesos de innovación pública y a la mejora de los sistemas de gobernanza de la cultura. El estudio se concentra en el caso peruano y específicamente en la situación que enfrenta el Ministerio de Cultura ante la tarea de impulsar políticas e iniciativas orientadas a la apertura de datos gubernamentales. La metodología empleada incluyó investigación bibliográfica y entrevistas con expertos y expertas, representantes de instituciones públicas y organizaciones de la sociedad civil. A partir de esta información, se brindan insumos y recomendaciones generales que pueden contribuir a la generación y al fortalecimiento de múltiples agendas de datos abiertos para los sectores culturales de América Latina, tanto a nivel nacional como subnacional, a partir de la colaboración entre actores públicos y privados. El impulso de múltiples agendas de datos abiertos para los sectores culturales constituye una apuesta por la configuración de un horizonte de intervención compartido, que busca transformar a la gestión pública de los sectores culturales a partir de procesos significativos y sostenibles de colaboración y co-creación entre Estado y Sociedad Civil. Estas agendas son concebidas como estrategias que deben apoyarse en una conexión entre dos movimientos o comunidades que no suelen articularse con suficiente frecuencia y profundidad: el movimiento por el gobierno abierto y el movimiento por los derechos culturales y por la diversidad cultural. El estudio reconoce la brecha que existe entre estos campos y busca reducirla, fortaleciendo un lenguaje común que permita promover mayores colaboraciones entre estas comunidades. Lo que está en juego es la posibilidad de orientar los procesos de apertura de datos gubernamentales en los sectores culturales hacia metas más pertinentes y por ende más sostenibles, basadas en propósitos específicos que respondan a las necesidades y ...

How do cultural practices influence the process of participatory governance within local administrative structures? We address this question by reflecting cultural dimensions, such as collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, and power distance within a contextual sensitive "cultural sensemaking" model. The modelled context refers to community development meetings held in Thai communities. Here people gather to discuss development plans, which are later finalized at the Tambon Administrative Organization (TAO). We hypothesize that cultural practices influence action by giving the people the rules for action. The analysis of culture in the context of these meetings is an interpretive one and involves qualitative observation of and structured interviews. Our results show that the prevailing cultural practices do not promote truly transparent and open discussions as ascribed to participatory governance tools. Consequently, local leaders employ a subtle paternalistic leadership style. Yet, cultural practices change towards a more open and participatory rural society.

This article analyzes participatory governance in relation to heritage. Based on previous studies on the implementation of participation and theoretical discussions considering the participatory governance of cultural heritage, we found four types of cultural heritage governance, with differing weights with regard to public authorities, civil society, markets, and citizens. Governmental, corporatist, service-led, and cocreative cultural heritage governance types were identified, which reflect the shifts in participatory approaches to governance from state-centered activities to the proliferation of civil society, and from professionally dominated to more citizen-based activities. According to our analysis, culture and heritage can be conceptualized as instruments for the transformation of attributes and competencies, and they work as mediums to cultivate recognition between institutions and citizens. This includes not only seeking consensus in decision making but also respecting the nuances and values of different heritages. ; peerReviewed

Governance is recognized as a means to promote sustainable outcomes by democratizing the policy process and potentially harmonizing competing policy interests. This is particularly critical for sustainable tourism policy with its multiple sectors and multiple stakeholders at multiple scales. Yet little is known about the kinds of governance processes and instruments that are able to effectively harmonize competing power interests to better balance economic, ecological, and social concerns. This study analyzes the case of Bhutan and its Gross National Happiness (GNH) strategy as it is applied to sustainable tourism policy. Based on semi-structured interviews and focus groups with 57 state and non-state governance actors, it explores whether Bhutan's unique GNH governance framework successfully harmonizes competing interests in the pursuit of sustainable tourism policy. It argues that the implementation of Bhutanese tourism policy is characterized by diverse and unexpected applications of power by multiple policy stakeholders. These complex power dynamics are not shaped in a meaningful way by the GNH governance instruments. Nor are they rooted in a common understanding of GNH itself. While this situation should subvert sustainable tourism policy, a commitment among state and non-state governance actors to a common set of Buddhist-infused cultural values shapes and constrains policy actions in a manner that promotes sustainable tourism outcomes.

The pursuit of cultural heritage conservation is particularly problematic in China as the country has been undergoing substantial changes in its governance processes in the post-reform era. As the regime becomes less authoritarian and more pluralized, a multitude of stakeholders (both state and non-state), are now involved in promoting, constructing, challenging and safeguarding a variety of meanings and values in heritage. This thesis incorporates an urban governance lens to examine the policy and practical problems in conserving urban built heritage in contemporary China. This approach offers a new perspective in understanding the distribution of authority and power between the state and society as well as its effect on the management of public affairs. The reconfigurations of the role of the state, market and civil society have ushered in a new phase of urban politics that have enormous implications for built heritage conservation practices. As a result of reforms, conventional stakeholders have assumed new roles in politics; meanwhile, an increasing variety and number of new stakeholders connected to the non-state sector have also emerged; and their relationships and interactions with the state have become increasingly complex. An urban governance perspective draws attention to the new arrangements embedded in these relationships, which have profoundly impacted the decision-making processes in conservation, re-shaped the interpretation of heritage values, re-defined the scope of heritage and re-thought the use of heritage in Guangzhou. By employing a case-study approach, this thesis provides a detailed analysis of the conservation efforts undertaken by various stakeholder groups in Guangzhou in the post-reform era. Guangzhou is one of the country's designated historic cities; it is also the provincial capital of Guangdong and has experienced rapid marketization over the past three decades. Three district-specific cases are selected to provide an in-depth analysis on the changing relationships among concerned stakeholders. The case of Shamian Island demonstrates the rigidity and constraints of central-local relation; while the case of Xinhepu discloses the evolving state-market relation. Finally, the case of Enning Road examines the rise of non-state stakeholders and their power struggle against the state. These cases were selected because each of them covers a particular heritage aspect that is directly related to the three-pronged national conservation hierarchical framework. The findings in the three cases respectively reveal the intricacies of conservation politics: the bureaucratic politics in the management and conservation of designated heritage; the struggle between state and society over what legitimate type of history is considered as "national" history and the maintenance of its local significance; and the operation-cum-conservation of heritage assets by market forces in China's transitional economy. The findings of this thesis contribute to a broadened understanding of the changing roles and functions of the state, market and civil society in China's transitional period; thus revealing the major deficiencies in the existing institutional and managerial frameworks for built heritage conservation in Guangzhou. This thesis also documents the impacts and outcomes of the actions of various state and non-state stakeholders on the prospect of built heritage conservation at an urban scale in China. ; published_or_final_version ; Geography ; Doctoral ; Doctor of Philosophy

Many (World Heritage) cultural landscapes are a living environment for thousands of inhabitants, visitors, entrepreneurs, farmers and other land users. In order to manage such landscapes we have to consider the legal framework and the reality of the regional planning culture. The 'landscape of regional players' consists of a wide range of stakeholders. How should regions tackle natural and cultural heritage as an integrated part of regional development? The discussion of Austria's Hallstatt-Dachstein / Salzkammergut World Heritage region involves vertical and horizontal dimensions of governance, including politics, administration, private businesses and civil society.

WOS: 000373270600010 ; Governance is a term that has gained popularity and has been used by academics and institutions such as UN, IMF and World Bank since 1990s. The term may be defined in a broad manner as "the processes of interaction and decision-making among the parties involved in a collective problem". There are different governance perspectives for different aims. Corporate governance, for example, consists of the processes, customs, policies, laws, and institutions affecting the way people direct, administer or control a corporation. Corporate governance may play an important role especially for the developing countries. They need capital inflows that is affected by sound corporate governance considerably. Turkey is one of the most highlighted emerging economies. In practice, there are some shortcomings in corporate governance compliance in Turkey. In this study, it is aimed to go further than current literature done towards cultural and historical roots which has potentially big impact on the present understanding and compliance of corporate governance in Turkey. The main tool adopted for this aim is closing the gap between respectable studies on the cultural roots of economic understanding of Turkey and studies on corporate governance in Turkey. This paper is presented to share first impressions of this effort
