Abstract

The chapter introduces cultural and creative industries (CCI) as a concept and policy domain and relates CCI as an activity to those policy domains that have the most affinity with CCI, culture, enterprise and regional development. Among other matters, the chapter discusses the significant impact that the expansion of the European Union (EU) has had on Swedish policymaking and how ambitions to change EU policy in recent decades have led to new priorities regarding the cultural and creative field. The chapter concludes that the analysis and discussion of CCI policymaking at the EU as well as at the national and subnational levels in Sweden is not possible without taking EU-level changes into consideration. At the same time, the chapter points out that politicians at different levels increasingly demand integrated policymaking; in other words, policymaking that links different policy domains to more effectively target societal challenges. The question of integration is also something that has been central in CCI policymaking.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Many researchers refer to the DCMS (2001) Creative Industries Mapping Document (Bilton and Leary 2002; Banks and Hesmondhalgh 2009; Hennekam and Bennett 2016), but the definition cannot be found at the websites listing the various mapping documents for various sectors. Possibly the definition was included in a printed version of the report.
