More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Throughout the last couple of decades, from the fall of the Berlin Wall to globalization issues of today, various aspects of culture seem to affect the lives of European citizens more and more. As a reply the European Union (EU) in 2007 endorsed `A European agenda for culture in a globalising world', evidently their `first -ever strategy for culture'.
To anyone familiar with the history of the EU, this was groundbreaking news. Culture had for the first time been elevated into the premier league of EU politics. In this book, which ranges from cosmopolitan philosophy to Playstation games, Norwegian sociologist Hans Erik Naess investigates the case further: what is the content of this strategy, what is new about it, and how will it affect European and national cultures?
This book allows the reader to explore these questions. Written in an easily accessible style, putting emphasis on exploration rather than tutoring, it provides students, philanthropists, culture journalists, artists, NGO staff, politicians and the like with a creative introduction to the interactions between EU policies and European culture.

douze point to hans erik næss.
i was recommended to buy this book by one of the major actors on the european cultural scene. he admitted that it was the only book he had actually managed to read on the subject. and that he actually not only found it clewver but also highly entertaining. i am thankful for his recommendation. it will provide you insight into the mechanisms of eu and the most important tendencies regarding cultural policy on an EU level. written in a clear and comepelling language refreshingly liberated from the bureaucratic and/or academic cloak that usually covers the field. and the personal interviews with key politicians, researchers and more helps to add personality to the subject - a rare sight when it comes to EU related topics.
last but not least it is worth mentioning that there has not been written many books on the subject yet and that this book by far covers some of the most interesting paradoxes.
enjoy the read.
