Industries créatives, diversité et politiques culturelles

Abstract

Focusing on a variety of perspectives discussing the creative industries, this research note pursues two distinct but complementary goals. On the one hand, as a conceptual overview, the first section presents some definitions of the notions of creative industries, creative cities and creative economy as well as critical perspectives in order to point out some issues raised by these notions at a theoretical level. On the other hand, the second section proposes a brief critical analysis that aims to discuss the challenges faced by both cultural policies and the implementation of international trade of the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions in a context marked by the rise of the creative economy and industries.
