Publication on cultural industries

Christiaan De Beukelaer is the author of the ''Developing Cultural Industries: Learning from the Palimpsest of Practice'' publication developed in the context of the Cultural Policy Research Award of the European Cultural Foundation, which supports young researchers under 35 to develop studies in the field of cultural policies relevant to the European context. The study focuses on the cultural and creative industries in developing countries, especially in Africa, and explores the connection between culture and broader goals of human development. The author combines the empirical study in this sector in Africa with an understanding towards a broader insight on the global implications of the European debate on cultural industries.
