Dear all,
The Regional Studies Association Research Network on Creative Industries and the Regions invites you to take part and submit you abstract for the third seminar of our programme, taking place on 23rd and 24th of September 2009 at the University of Birmingham.
The title of the third seminar is:
Creative industries and regional policies: making space and giving space.
The third seminar will explore the relationship between creative industries and regional policies. In particular we would welcome papers which address the following questions: Do creative industries need policy support? Do local and regional policies make a difference to the development of creative industries? At what geographical level should policy and support initiatives be implemented? How should regional policy be integrated with national policy? What are the best policy tools to support creative industries? To what extent economic development policies are sufficient? What about international policy? How and to what extent supporting creative industries foster regional economic development?
You can download the call for papers from this web site
