This book focuses on innovations in culture having the potential to drive overall development. It analyses public policies and offers inspiring examples of innovations in culture which solve various societal problems as well as recommendations for public policies. The "culturinno effect" (culture + innovations), thus presents evidence of the inherent power culture has in fostering development. The volume leads us through the role of culture in different concepts of development, providing the theoretical and historical context of development and theory of change. Analysis of theoretical cultural policy models is followed by practical examples of innovations in culture, culminating in a text that is a must have for innovative decision makers ready to respond to the challenges of today as well as students, artists and cultural workers who are prepared to offer a new view on arts/culture.

With the rise of creative industries, culture in international relations achieves strong competitive economic advantages. At the same time, it is often a fertile tool in reconciliation between connected communities and long-term consolidation of their relations. Economic peace theory claims economic interdependence as being the key factor in achieving peace between communities. Starting from this premise, this paper analysed the success of specific EU funding within cross-border cooperation schemes between Croatia and Serbia in enhancing social relations between the two states and their cooperation, as indirect effects. Adapted Conflict Management and Mitigation Matrix (CMM) served as a basis to con rm the assumption that international relations are enhanced if direct economic bene ts for the communities are involved. e research confirmed this assumption and provided recommendations for future EU financial instruments.

Most cultural heritage projects strive in ensuring financial sustainability, mainly relying on public subsidies. At the same time, they lack fund management policies which directly affects their financial sustainability. European Union heritage policies focus on sustainability but after investments have been made, there are rare cases which can boast about it. A number of heritage funding mechanisms exist which are explained in this review paper, while the focus is on crowdfunding as an alternative mechanism. The study used literature review method based on PRISMA guidelines to analyze new trends and suitability of crowdfunding for cultural heritage projects, and to detect possible factors influencing its success. The purpose was to add to the existing knowledge while offering a systematic review which can be applied in practice. Findings indicate the trend of participatory approach to heritage, which is in line with the participatory nature of crowdfunding campaigns. Further, crowdfunding suitability for cultural heritage projects was confirmed while its success factors majorly depend on the policy framework, heritage project nature and management of the campaign itself.

While they have been increasingly debated, the differences and implications of multiculturalism and interculturalism for cultural policies at city level have been poorly studied. The Intercultural Cities Index, promoted by the Council of Europe, includes just a few aspects of cultural policies in the intercultural lens dimension. In the light of this gap, this paper proposes a more comprehensive set of indicators to evaluate interculturalism in local cultural policies. The indicators are designed according to an analytical scheme that considers how two possible approaches to cultural diversity (multicultural and intercultural) are embedded in three dimensions of local cultural policies (discourse, governance and cultural contents). Because they focus more on the explicit dimension of cultural policies, dealing with cultural heritage and consecrated forms of artistic expression, the proposed indicators could also be extendable to the implicit definition of culture intended as a way of life. The 12 proposed indicators are applied to conduct a comparative analysis of the degree of interculturalism attained in three Croatian cities (Rijeka, Osijek, and Pula) as they underwent the process of candidature to become European Capitals of Culture. This European programme serves as comparative ground to study the changes of a city's cultural policies under the same conditions and pressures. First, the study of these cities emphasizes the strict interrelation between the different dimensions of local cultural policies. Even if it is strongly present in the discourse dimension, interculturalism has not been fully attained without a governance aspect that promotes the creation of shared cultural contents. Second, the results evidence the recurrence of gastronomy as a sector for experimentation with multicultural and intercultural approaches. The crucial role of food in promoting cultural encounters stresses the necessity of taking into consideration a broader spectrum of the ways of life, traditions, and customs when studying multiculturalism and interculturalism in local cultural policies. ; Iako se o utjecaju multikulturalnosti i interkulturizmu sve više raspravlja, razlike između tih dvaju pojmova te njihov utjecaj na gradske kulturne politike ne istražuju se dovoljno. Vijeće Europe nastoji promicati Intercultural Cities Index (Interkulturni indeks gradova), no taj instrument sagledava samo neke aspekte kulturnih politika iz interkulturne perspektive. S obzirom na to, u radu se predlažu sveobuhvatniji indikatori koji bi mogli procijeniti razinu interkulturizma u lokalnim kulturnim politikama. Indikatori slijede analitičku shemu kojom se nastoji utvrditi kako su dva moguća pristupa kulturnoj raznolikosti (multikulturalnost i interkulturizam) ugrađena u tri dimenzije lokalnih kulturnih politika (dimenzije diskursa, upravljanja i kulturnih sadržaja). Indikatori se odnose na eksplicitniju dimenziju kulturnih politika koja se bavi kulturnim nasljeđem i oblicima umjetničkog izražaja, no mogu se također primijeniti na implicitnu definiciju kulture kao načina života. Predlaže se dvanaest indikatora pomoću kojih su autori usporedili razine interkulturizma u tri hrvatska grada (Rijeci, Osijeku i Puli) tijekom razdoblja njihova statusa grada kandidata za Europsku prijestolnicu kulture. Ovaj europski program nudi uvjete za usporedbu promjena gradskih kulturnih politika pod istim uvjetima i pritiscima. Kao prvo, pregled tih triju gradova naglašava snažnu međusobnu povezanost različitih dimenzija lokalnih kulturnih politika. Čak i kada je nedvojbeno prisutan u dimenziji diskursa, interkulturizam se ne može u potpunosti postići bez upravljačke dimenzije koja potiče stvaranje zajedničkih kulturnih sadržaja. Kao drugo, podaci govore o povratku gastronomije kao sektora koji eksperimentira s ultikulturnim i interkulturnim pristupima. Ključna uloga hrane u promicanju kulturnih susreta ističe potrebu za razmatranjem širega spektra načina života, tradicija i običaja prilikom proučavanja multikulturalnosti i interkulturizma u lokalnim kulturnim politikama.

Cultural heritage has, for a long time, been considered a source of wealth and well-being for economies. Currently, considerable investments have been allocated for its renewal and maintenance that often surpass the budgets of owners, local communities, and other interested users. Cultural heritage valorisation is expensive and is a great economic challenge. Infrastructural investment, i.e., conservation and restoration, are just one part of the total costs of cultural heritage preservation, while other investments relate to regular operation and maintenance. One of the most difficult decisions for those who design the cultural heritage restoration projects is how to finance them, i.e., what the most efficient financial instruments are for renewal of cultural heritage. These assumptions have instigated interest in the evaluation of services resulting from common good functions of cultural heritage, such as economic, educational, historical, technological, ecological, and climate, as well as tourism and recreational. Therefore, this article starts from the analysis of potential funding sources for cultural heritage through the European Union (EU) funds; a method of economic evaluation of the return on investments and cost-benefit analysis is suggested as a method that should be used in decision making on these interventions.
