Tribunal on Cultural Policy 1999

Nordic Cultural Policy in European and Global Perspectives

International Research Conference on Cultural Policy

April 20th - 23rd 1999

University of Copenhagen, Studiestræde 8, Auditorium A

The purpose of “Tribunal on Cultural Policy 1999” is to shed light upon the overall aims, means and experiences within Danish, Nordic and European cultural policies in a global perspective.

What are the experiences in the Nordic and other European in relation to countries such as USA and Japan? What are the most notably trends and challenges? Is the arm’s length principle still a relevant principle of organisation, which can ensure cultural and artistic freedom within the democratic rule of law?

The issues will be documented and discussed by researchers in cultural policy from all over the world.

Tribunal on Cultural Policy 1999 is organised by the Nordic research project "Nordic Cultural Policy under Transformation” and the Department of Literature, University of Copenhagen and is financed by the State Departments of Cultural Affairs in the Nordic countries and the Nordic Culture Fund.

The conference language is English.
