Cultural Policy (3-part series)

Thinking about Japanese cultural policy in a stage of transition: a comparison with five countries

Genre:
  • Lecture / Symposium

Three-part lecture series looking at Japan’s cultural policy in comparison with that of foreign countries

In 2017 the Basic Act on the Promotion of Culture and the Arts was revised for the first time in 16 years, becoming the Basic Act on Culture and the Arts; and in March this year the first Basic Plan for the Promotion of Culture and the Arts was approved by the Cabinet. The cultural administration of Japan is now at a major turning point, with developments such as the Agency for Cultural Affairs being reorganized in order to boost the functional capabilities of cultural administration.
The Agency’s 2017 comparative survey research on cultural policy abroad was implemented in a way that allowed for ease of reference, and facilitated comparisons with Japanese trends. For example the research included survey items on features of cultural policy in each country as well as the ideas behind them, and Aligned the scope of cultural policy targets. Researchers specializing in the countries surveyed will be invited in turn to explain the cultural policies of each nation, including from the perspective of comparison with Japan.
