The cultural politics of Europe: European capitals of culture and European Union since the 1980s

In: Routledge/UACES contemporary European studies, 24

Abstract

Europeanisation is mostly associated with new forms of European governance and rarely encompasses wider processes of societal and economic change, or of identity formation. This book provides a richer analysis of Europeanisation by taking stock of European cultural policies, with a focus on European Capitals of Culture (ECOC).
