This is not an empirical survey of the actual growth of particular arts bureaucracies. It does not define its terms specifically enough to do that, nor does it analyze in any depth concrete instances of support provision. It does make strategic use of two important terms in arts subvention: valuation and accountability. However, the purpose is not to chart the historical development of their application but to illustrate the logic behind their use. Put briefly, the article argues that, because the language of performing arts advocacy in Australia has always been predicated on what economists

This paper considers some theoretical issues in the relationship between sustainability and culture... In this paper I have adopted the WCCD's view of culture both as an instrument and as a constituent of the process of human development. Interpreted in these terms, culture does have an independent existence, and I have proposed that one way of characterising that independent existence is through a specific notion of cultural capital.

Three cultural arenas are touched on here, namely, issues that have arisen relating to First Peoples (the indigenous population), ones linked to other forms of colonization, such as in Africa, and exhibitions that address a particular cultural history, in this case that of the Far East. First, in the context of museum relations with First Peoples, a particular pattern of events has developed that spans just more than a decade. This period, particularly from 1988 onward, is marked by specific changes that have taken place in the museums.

When historians refer to a stretch of time, they like to arrange it into periods for the sake of easy study. The history of France's cultural policy from Andre Malraux to Jack Lang (1959-1993) may be divided into four such periods.

The activity of opera houses is governed by the directives of cultural policy and the organisational and management choices made by each house. In Italy, the field of this enquiry, cultural policy has always taken a quantitative rather than qualitative approach. Governments have invariably been preoccupied with the amount of funds to be made available rather than the problem of how to distribute arts subsidies effectively. From the organisational and management point of view, the most striking feature is the rigidity of the Enti Automi, literally, Autonomous Institutions. This rigidity is a
