Previous studies have placed the burden of policy improvements on the arts themselves, looking at what 'the arts' can do to be worthy of government funding and favourable policy, and have seen government actions as if they have a uniform effect. This study takes 'the arts' out of the abstract and discusses specific ways that diverse activities with even more diverse needs can be best approached with government policy, assessing the strengths and weaknesses of government initiatives. It is aimed at both political scientists and anyone with an interest in arts and cultural policy Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed June 11, 2019) Subject Art and state -- Great Britain Art and state -- Ireland ART -- Art & Politics.
