Cultural capital and its impact on development: lecture
2002
The IDB Cultural Center was created in 1992 by Enrique V. Iglesias, President of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). The Center has two primary objectives: 1) to contribute to social development by administering a grants program that sponsors and co-finances small-scale cultural projects that will have a positive social impact in the region, and 2) to promote a better image of the IDB member countries, with emphasis on Latin America and the Caribbean, through culture and increased understanding between the region and the rest of the world, particularly the United States. Cultural programs at headquarters feature new as well as established talent from the region. Recognition granted by Washington, D.C. audiences and press often helps propel the careers of new artists. The Center also sponsors lectures on Latin American and Caribbean history and culture, and supports cultural undertakings in the Washington, D.C. area for the local Latin American and Caribbean communities, such as Spanishlanguage theater, film festivals, and other events.

Innovations in cultural policy and development in Latin America
International Journal of Cultural Policy, 2018
This essay looks at two major tendencies in cultural policy recommendations in Latin America: (1) the economic contribution of arts, heritage and especially the cultural and creative industries; and (2) cultural rights, with a focus on inclusion, access, empowerment, and the integral development/ well-being of citizens. The two tendencies, which are part of cultural development policies, are not easily integrated into an all-encompassing policy because they follow different logics and management strategies. Nevertheless, both of these tendencies, which emerged in the heyday of neoliberalism (the 1990s), continue to provide the major justifications for cultural funding, although the current economic crisis has led to budget cuts. After a review of cultural development policies, this essay examines innovative strategies to compensate for scarce funding, including those that seek to bridge both tendencies. The cases examined below correspond to discussions of cultural policies in Latin American forums with hundreds of policy-makers and analysts over the past 20-plus years.

The creative and cultural industries and the future of Latin America's economy
2014
is now in the midst of an impressive phase of innovation, which is expanding the region's influence in the cultural arena. One of the world's fastest growing sectors, the cultural sector has quadrupled its share of world trade since 1995. In 2012 it represented an estimated $2.2 trillion, or 11% of the global total. Signs that the cultural industries are taking off in Latin America are widespread. As the 2010 Creative Economy Report noted, regional governments are now actively promoting policies for this sector: incentivizing tourism, creating new cultural infrastructure, and strengthening intellectual property protection. The vitality of Latin America's cultural sector is evident in the growth of film, audiovisual, and digital media production, artistic expression and performance, increasing concern with national cultural patrimonies, and sustained attention to both tangible and intangible cultural heritage, as potential economic resources and drivers of development. All are significant expressions of the potential benefits to be derived from the wealth of regional cultural resources. Nonetheless, at present there is scant available basic data describing the region's growing cultural sector, the relationships of this sector to the regional economy, and accompanying analysis supporting possible future directions for development. These circumstances threaten to cripple the continued growth of the creative economy. In this context, CLALS, together with its counterparts at the IDB's Culture, Creativity, and Solidarity Affairs Division, elected to collaborate in the development of an agenda for the next generation of research in this area, with a focus upon how best to conceptualize culture as a critical component of, and resource for, regional development, while also identifying associated key questions and challenges. The purposes of this collaboration is several fold: to help advance conversations about culture and development in the IDB and elsewhere and to take stock and to identify timely and viable research initiatives to pursue in this area, which lead directly to better frameworks for future investment in Latin America's creative economy. Given the ongoing efforts of its Cultural and Creative Economy Laboratory as represented by such recent products as The Orange Economy (2013), together with CLALS the IDB's Culture, Creativity, and Solidarity Affairs Division is ideally positioned to promote best practices with respect to the relationship of the region's cultural sector to its development, through high-profile events and research. With an established reputation among the top research-oriented Latin American area studies centers, CLALS is ideally positioned to provide the necessary research support to map out the critical knowledge space in this area, in anticipation of next steps for policy and investment in the creative economy. This collaboration with the IDB also enhances its existing "Culture and Creativity" program portfolio. With a goal of deepening understanding of how vibrant regional cultural expression intersects with emerging priorities in urban planning and development, this collaboration further represents a major CLALS initiative in "Urban and Metropolitan Studies," an ongoing strategic priority at American University. To this end, CLALS draws on considerable
Culture as resource: the arts as part of development assistance
In the last ten years a new space for artistic production has emerged in developing countries, brought about by the coming together of local arts organisations and international development organisations. At the same time the arts have come to be seen in increasingly instrumental terms, not only in poor countries, but also in wealthy industrialised nations.
Cultural Policy in Ibero-America
Cultural policy in Ibero-America, Routlegde, 2019
This book provides a broad overview of the development of Ibero-American cultural policy in an important and innovative way. This volume brings together specialists in the field, from different nations and disciplines, and provides the keys to understanding the different trajectories and experiences of some significant countries in the area on both sides of the Atlantic; the recent developments in this domain such as urban cultural regeneration policies and cultural development policies; and the dynamics of policy transfers such as cultural diplomacy. The book also contrasts the applicability and the explanatory power of the idea of the family of nations for the analysis of cultural policy with models inspired by the welfare regimes. This book allows international researchers an overarching view of the peculiarities and the latest achievements in the field of Ibero-American cultural policy.
