The creative industries are the subject of growing attention among
policy-makers, academics, activists, artists and development
specialists worldwide. This engaging book provides a global
overview of developments in the creative industries, and analyses
how these developments relate to wider debates about globalization,
cities, culture and the global creative economy.
Flew considers creative industries from six angles: industries;
production; consumption; markets; places; and policies. Designed
for the non-specialist, the text includes insightful and
wide-ranging case studies on topics such as: fashion; design
thinking; global culture; creative occupations; monopoly and
competition; Shanghai and Seoul as creative cities; popular music
and urban cultural policy; and the rise of ‘Nollywood’.
Global Creative Industries will be of great interest to
students and scholars of media and communications, cultural
studies, economics, geography, sociology, design, public policy,
and the arts. It will also be of value to those working in the
creative industries, and involved in their development.
