---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: [artbox] Cultural Policy Studies at CEU, Budapest From: "Dessy Gavrilova" <[email protected]> Date: Mon, December 22, 2008 11:01 To: [email protected] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CEU Department of Public Policy Adds a Cultural Policy Stream The CEU Department of Public Policy offers a one-year MA in Public Policy with an optional specialization in the field of cultural policy. Since its launch in 2004 the department attracted a high number of applications from students in the CEE/FSU region and around the world. Graduates from the program have become government officials and policy experts in their home countries. Many of the students trained in the MA in Public Policy program are early or mid-career professionals who already bring professional experience to the program. The MA program offers different areas of specialization to its students. Upon successful completion of a particular stream of specialization students receive a diploma supplement to their MA degree. The Cultural Policy Stream Cultural policies of national states, and later of regions and cities, have evolved in Europe after World War Two as part of comprehensive public policy articulation in many other fields, including health, housing, education etc. and reflected the emancipation program of the welfare state in Western Europe and the common ideological framework in the former communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Huge political and socio-economic changes sweeping across Central and Eastern Europe since 1989 have only in a limited way affected the cultural policies of post-communist countries in transition. Across Europe, the present dilemmas of cultural policy reflect the key challenges of public policy, thorn between the traditional prerogatives of the national state and European integration, national interests and forces of globalization, government regulation and the reliance on the market, and such major new issues as intensive migration, ICT revolution, and a prominent policy making role of the cities and regions. In this stream culture and cultural policy are considered not as a self-enclosed public sector but in a transversal perspective, thus closely connected with other aspects of public policy making, in education, urban development, foreign affairs, integration of the migrants, cultural diversity and tourism. The aim of the stream is to provide the understanding of cultural policy making, its protagonists and their interests, and to examine the broad palette of policy instruments applied, their rationale and effects, in a strong comparative perspective. Students are expected to analyze the policy interventions of public authorities against the needs and expectations of culture professionals and audiences and to evaluate them in relation to accelerated cultural, political, technological and economic changes. Credit requirements for the one-year Master's Program in Public Policy (MA) 34 course credits; 6 credits master thesis; internship. Courses specific to the Cultural Policy Stream Stream students are required to complete a minimum of 6 credits in courses on cultural policy. Financial aid Students of all nationalities can apply for CEU financial support and a limited number of tuition waivers.
