摘要

This chapter examines the relationship between democratic traits and the promises of cultural policy rhetoric and practice through the lens of participatory governance in culture, one of the key directions of cultural policy advancements (Fischer, 2006; Bevir, 2009; Vidović, 2018). It examines how participatory governance can democratize cultural policy by shifting power from centralized, bureaucratic decision-making to shared, context-responsive arrangements. Using concepts of embeddedness, institutionalization, and Participatory Institutional Design, this chapter analyzes Croatian cultural policy with a focus on civil-society initiatives and the civil-public institution Pogon (Zagreb) as a 15-year case study.
