The second edition of the KPY Cultural Policy and Management Yearbook calls for the submission of academic articles and book reviews on cultural policy and management approaches to ‘Social Diversity and Cultural Participation’. Papers to be published in the 2010 edition should explore the proposed theme within the national (Turkish) and/or European context.

Academic work discussing the impact and achievements of cultural diversity (and related policies) in patterns of cultural supply and demand as well as the role of arts management and cultural policies in multi-ethnic and multi-religious societies are especially welcome. The second issue of the KPY Yearbook also encourages contributions which explore the challenges of cultural management and policy-making in socio-economic transition and political turbulence.

The overall topic of the special thematic dossier of the second issue is ‘Diversity and Participation’. Papers published under this heading might reflect on:

• The political and historical factors, and legal and philosophical debates, which conform or conflict with cultural diversity and participation;
• The role of arts and culture in democracy, and different forms of social involvement that are best linked to arts and cultural work;
• The role of civil society in stimulating cultural development programmes and entrepreneurial/managerial models in conflict and post-conflict areas;
• Emerging new cultural policy models (funding schemes, public-private partnerships etc.) catering more effectively to specific intercultural programmes.

Deadline for submission: 1 March 2010
