The new book of Dragan Klaic is a systematic guide to the purpose, instruments, models, benefits, success factors, risks and strategic issues in international cultural cooperation. It offers to emerging and experienced cultural practitioners some basic instruments for cross-border international project management and perspectives on strategic thinking in “practicing” cultural cooperation internationally, within the context of bridging Eastern and Western Europe and creating an “European cultural space”. As the discussions around international cultural cooperation have been traditionally conceived as a matter of national governments, national cultural and foreign policies, the book aims at offering the point of view of real “doers”- cultural managers, producers, intermediaries.
Dr. Dragan Klaic, a Permanent Fellow of Felix Meritis in Amsterdam, a theater scholar, cultural analyst and author of several books and many articles, teaches arts and cultural policy at the Leiden University. He is the initiator and Chair of the European Festivals Research Project, an international consortium, and a frequent speaker, lecturer and trainer across Europe.
The book is published in September 2007 by the Center of Arts and Culture, Central European University Budapest, with the support of Amsterdam, Budapest Observatory and Euclid, Liverpool.SICA.
