Aims and scope

It has an extensive international readership and addresses itself to all those with a serious intellectual interest in how and why different agents attempt to work on the cultural practices and values of individuals and societies.It is a peer reviewed journal that provides an outlet for a multidisciplinary and international exploration of the meaning, function and consequences of cultural policies. Cultural policy is understood as the promotion or disparagement of particular cultural practices and values.
The journal will consider papers from any academic discipline which address its aims, as set out here, and encourages contributions from all parts of the world.  As a multidisciplinary and international journal, it requires contributors to write in a clear, readable style.
