As part of the Cultural Policy 101 In Focus Series, The European Institute for Comparative Cultural Research (ERICarts), in association with Péter Inkei from the Regional Observatory on Financing Culture in East-Central Europe (BO) and Danielle Cliche from ERICarts have created a report exploring European Cultural Policy.

The report identifies, assesses and defines the elements of key existing and emerging trends in European cultural policy reform while discussing current challenges and opportunities. Additional focus is placed on the policy transformations occurring within Central and Eastern Europe.
