Abstract
The chapter introduces the themes of the book, contextualising the rise of cultural and creative industries (CCI) policymaking in a changing economy of the twentieth century. It states the reasons for researching the field from a broad policy analysis framework and argues for the importance of broader policy approaches in research related to cultural policy matters. The chapter points to the lack of empirical longitudinal studies of CCI policy and states that the combined study of CCI policymaking at the EU and national and subnational levels in Sweden is valuable due to the lack of research seeking to explain why CCI policy has taken the form it has at the EU level and in a welfare state such as Sweden. Finally, the chapter offers details of the empirical studies on which the book is based.
