Arts & International Affairs: Democratizing Arts: 5.1, Summer 2020 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781941755198)

Arts & International Affairs interrogates the politics and economics of the arts through a global perspective. Situated within international contexts, the arts encompass the performing, creative and visual industries that envelop the modes of expression in the global political economy. AIA's interdisciplinary style is imperative to capturing the intersections between people, their creations, their services and institutions. Artistic works often transcend borders and provoke local, national and transnational engagement.

Arts and cultural managers working in the fine and performing arts and heritage engage with creative and aesthetic expressions that reflect broad social as well as personal cultural ideas, knowledge, and values. This issue shows how their work helps with understanding the contribution of the arts to historical, institutional and social assumptions about interculturalism, cultural diversity, and cultural inclusion. This understanding is also essential when addressing the anxieties that globalization and an increasing populism bring to the arts and cultural sector.
