"Critical Cultural Policy Studies is a trailblazing
collection of first-rate essays by the leading figures in media
studies in North America, Britain, and Australia. As we enter the
so-called Information Age, cultural policy is becoming a central
political and social concern. These essays, splendidly edited by
Justin Lewis and Toby Miller, will be required reading for all who
negotiate with these issues." Robert W. McChesney,
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

"The contributors to this unabashed book of tendency bring
to bear the progressive critical energies of cultural studies and
political economy to the study and management of cultural provision
in the arts, broadcasting, television, popular music, the Internet,
and often neglected areas like sport and urban planning. The entry
of progressives into the policy sphere aims at effective reform of
state and market institutions in the direction of cultural rights
and citizenship and greater parity for developing countries in
international spheres of trade-in-culture. The goal is a more
democratic cultural policy." George Yúdice, New York
University
