Samenvatting
Paper examines the operational context and its complicated and countervailing tensions which make European policy formulation and delivery extremely difficult. Underlying problems originate in a failure properly to define 'culture' or what clear and legitimate policy objectives might be, although 'instrumental' use of culture is common. The EU's institutional structures (Council, Commission and Parliament) are often at cross-purposes, while the politics of the member states can play a negative role. The structure and internal political culture of the Commission ensure that the Department responsible for 'culture' remains marginal and ineffective. A pragmatic attempt to institute an 'Agenda for Culture' in 2007 has had initial success, but given the definitional, legal, management and political problems, the claims now being made for major progress seem premature. Paper held at the 5th ICCPR conference, 20-24 August 2008, Istanbul, Turkey. |
