Description
Book SynopsisThe creative industries are the subject of growing attention among policy-makers, academics, activists, artists and development specialists worldwide.
Trade Review"Flew's sober and penetrating analysis of the increasingly global character of the creative industries sheds a bright light on a field too often characterized more by heat. Both scholarly and accessible, it should be of great use to academics, policy experts, and media professionals alike."
Thomas Streeter, author of The Net Effect: Romanticism, Capitalism, and the Internet"This volume provides an admirable and far-ranging study, which provides real insight into what is happening to creative industries around the world from a variety of perspectives including consumption, policy and markets. This is one of those rare books which academics, students and media professionals will find useful and illuminating."
Jeanette Steemers, University of Westminster"
Global Creative Industries provides a valuable extension beyond previous work through its emphasis on development outside of the metropolitan centres. The book takes a critical stance and makes an important contribution to the field by using various case studies as a way of illustrating the complexities of creative industries in practice."
