• Description

This book builds on the results of a two-year project "Approaches to Participatory Governance of Cultural Institutions", which Kultura Nova Foundation implemented with the support of UNESCO International Fund for Cultural Diversity (IFCD), and is published in Croatian and English.

Based on various collections of data, conducted analyses and gained insights, this book intends to serve stakeholders involved in practices of participatory governance in culture as well as those who recognise the values of sustainable and good participatory governance of cultural resources and hence create new initiatives. It also aims to serve in further improving the institutional and legislative framework for the development of participatory governance in culture in the Republic of Croatia.

Besides the wide theoretical coverage and analysis of concepts such as cultural participation, decentralisation, local cultural planning and development and participatory governance in culture, it includes seven case studies comprising seven different models of participatory governance of socio-cultural centres that are being developed in different parts of Croatia.
