The implementation of two European Commission documents on cultural policies is under scrutiny at a moment when the European Union is awaiting new guiding principles for its cultural policy. One document focuses on the role of culture in external relations and the way to establish an EU strategy in this domain. The other proposes objectives and specific actions regarding the role of culture in the EU's society and economy.

This publication provides an assessment of the implementation of the European agenda for culture and of the EU strategy on international cultural relations. It highlights achievements and shortcomings of EU cultural policies, so as to inform and support policy makers ahead of the adoption of the next Council work plan for culture and the potential future revision of the agenda and of the strategy.

In the joint communication “Towards an EU strategy for international cultural relations” from 8 June 2016, the Commission and the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy have drawn up a strategy for the EU’s international cultural relations, departing from “showcasing” and working towards a cooperative peer-to-peer learning approach. The Committee on Culture and Education (CULT) and the Committee on Foreign Affairs (AFET) have decided to draw up an own-initiative report on the ...

Djelovanje Europske unije na području kulture dopunjuje kulturnu politiku država članica na raznim područjima kao što su, na primjer, očuvanje europske kulturne baštine, suradnja kulturnih institucija raznih zemalja ili promicanje mobilnosti kulturnih djelatnika. Na kulturni sektor utječu i one odredbe Ugovorâ koje se ne odnose izričito na kulturu.

Cilj studije je bolje razumijevanje uloge koju bi nacionalni kulturni instituti država članica EU-a mogli imati u europskoj strategiji za kulturu u vanjskim odnosima EU-a. Njome se analiziraju jake strane i nedostaci njihovih misija, struktura i resursa. Cilj te analize jest utvrditi imaju li njihove aktivnosti europsku dimenziju i mogu li biti od pomoći u daljnjem promicanju prioriteta i temeljnih vrijednosti EU-a u trećim zemljama. Studijom se na temelju analize utvrđuje više preporuka politika ...

Established in 1991 as the only truly regional space for dialogue and cooperation, the Ibero-American Conference is the first bi-continental international organisation, gathering Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries of Europe and the Americas. With the gradual emergence of other regional fora, it has had to adapt to the changing environment.

During the last decades, technological changes and globalisation have altered international relations. Just as the growth of telecommunications and transport technologies has facilitated the rapid dissemination of information and the global movement of people, traditional diplomacy has gradually grown to incorporate new methods, in which people-to-people contacts, networks and non-state actors play an influential role. The EU engages in cultural, education and scientific cooperation activities with ...

'Culture is the petrol of countries that are rich in history and talent', declared Irina Bokova, UNESCO Director-General, at its World Forum on Culture and Cultural Industries in Florence in October 2013. Indeed, culture and creativity are integral to a wide variety of economic activities. These aspects are addressed in the Creative Europe Programme which explores their potential in achieving the EU's goals of smart growth and job creation as set out in the Europe 2020 Strategy.

Ovom se studijom odgovara na poziv Europskog parlamenta da se cjelovito ocijene dugoročni učinci provedbe programa Europske prijestolnice kulture. Njezin je glavni cilj analizirati mnoštvo publikacija o domaćinima Europske prijestolnice kulture kako bi se: utvrdile najčešće strategije za uspjeh; preispitali dokazi djelovanja i dugoročnih učinaka s kulturnog, ekonomskog, socijalnog i političkog stajališta i razumjeli glavni izazovi koji se stalno pojavljuju.

The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is an intergovernmental organisation with a strong religious element that regroups 57 Muslim or predominantly Muslim member states. Its priorities are promoting the interests of Muslim communities across the world and fighting Islamophobia, especially in the Western world. The OIC has a loose parliamentary arm, the Parliamentary Union of the OIC Member States (PUIC), based in Tehran. The PUIC has a rather limited role and low visibility, as it merely ...
