Abstract
This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the political economy of creative and cultural industries (CCIs) and their role in modern economic development. Through an interdisciplinary lens, it examines how CCIs contribute to economic growth while addressing broader societal and cultural impacts. The book traces the evolution of these industries through successive industrial revolutions, analyzes various theoretical frameworks including Schumpeterian innovation theory, and explores contemporary challenges and opportunities in the digital age.
Key themes include the tension between economic growth and holistic development, the role of innovation and technological change, the importance of cultural diversity and social inclusion, and the challenges of measuring and valuing creative outputs. The book presents detailed case studies and empirical research, including analyses of creative occupations in Brazil and the Relative Values project examining socio-economic impacts of arts organizations.
The text critically examines both traditional economic metrics and alternative approaches to measuring CCIs' contribution to development. It addresses crucial policy considerations and provides a roadmap for policymakers and academics to foster sustainable growth in these sectors. With its blend of theoretical foundations and practical insights, this book serves as an essential resource for understanding the complexities of creative industries in our rapidly changing world.
This work makes significant contributions to the field by advancing the political economy of CCIs, synthesizing current debates, and clarifying critical concepts. It explores innovative approaches to measuring the economic impact of CCIs and proposes a roadmap for harnessing their full potential in driving sustainable and inclusive growth. The book is relevant to students, academics, policymakers, and practitioners interested in creative industries, cultural policy, and economic development.
