Integrated CCI Policy: Unrealistic or Irrelevant?

The chapter presents the main conclusions from previous research into policymaking, governance and new policy domains with relevance for cultural and creative industries (CCI) policymaking within the European Union (EU) and at the national and subnational levels. In addition to conclusions from the empirical studies of previous chapters, the chapter revisits the ambition of CCI policy as an integrated policy domain. First, the promise and dilemma of policy integration is discussed in relation to Swedish empirical data. Second, the impact of policy design on CCI development is discussed, given that policy needs to be general and is subject to changing priorities of politicians. These two sections are finally complemented by a concluding section where suggestions for further research and policymaking are given. Finally, some suggestions for further research and future policymaking are given.
