Samenvatting
The articles assembled in this special issue aim to address the question of how cultural policy/ies can contribute to sustainable development trajectories. The special issue brings international perspectives to this issue, presenting complementary frameworks of interpretation and considering different organizational levels and therefore different types of actors. The first three articles by David Throsby, Y. Raj Isar, and Jordi Baltà Portolés and Milena Dragićević Šešić provide insightful critical analyses and aim for greater conceptual clarity in defining the concepts of ‘cultural sustainability’, ‘culture and sustainable development’, and ‘culturally sustainable development’. They also consider the conditions under which international organisations (such as UN and UNESCO) orchestrate intermediaries (such as UCLG, the United Cities and Local Governments, and other networks) to influence and monitor state behavior. The next three articles by Richard Maxwell and Toby Miller; Kirsten Loach, Jennifer Rowley, and Jillian Griffiths; and M. Sharon Jeannotte challenge cultural institutions and local cultural administrations to operate as vital environmental participants with a stake in the future of the planet and all its inhabitants. Another set of cultural policy issues also emerges. The integration of cultural rights in cultural policies and in sustainable development strategies has traditionally been hampered by a limited understanding of the concepts of cultural rights and the vagueness of their policy implications. In this regard, Jordi Baltà Portolés and Milena Dragićević Šešić argue that the goal divergence is relatively high in cultural rights and therefore states may be more reluctant to delegate resources and increase autonomy to develop those rights. Extending from this, M. Sharon Jeannotte discusses whether aboriginal perspectives on culture and nature can provide an alternative narrative that will advance our understanding of culture’s role in community sustainability and counteract the monocultural perspective that is the legacy of colonialism throughout the world. In the closing article, Nancy Duxbury, Anita Kangas, and Christiaan De Beukelaer argue that culture’s absence from sustainable development debates is rooted in the longue durée of interplay among theoretical and policy debates on culture in sustainable development and on cultural policy since the mid-twentieth century.
