This handbook provides a profound exploration of culture's pivotal role in Europe's social, political, and economic fabric. This comprehensive resource is a must-read for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers committed to shaping a more vibrant and inclusive European future. It will certainly serve the 'Cultural Deal for Europe' campaign with analysis and case studies to grow the recognition of culture as a catalyst for positive change. * Lars Ebert, Secretary General, Culture Action Europe, Brussels, Belgium * ‘This handbook provides a rich body of evidence about the invaluable cross-sectoral role of culture. It is a compelling demonstration that culture is so much more than a “sector”; it is a “vector” for sustainable development and social cohesion at all levels, from local and regional to European and global, which can help us address some of the greatest challenges of our time.’ * Sneška Quaedvlieg-Mihailovic, Secretary General, Europa Nostra, the Netherlands * As a leader in the cultural sector who works in a global context, this handbook will be a valuable resource and extremely insightful for cultural policy students and academics alike. * Marcus Tebogo Desando, Director, the Prince Claus Fund, the Netherlands *
