Autonomía y cooperación en los modelos federalizantes de política cultural. Análisis comparativo de los casos de Alemania, EEUU, Canadá, Suiza, Reino Unido y España

Abstract

Since the eighties several researches have advanced into the comparison between national models of cultural policy. Moreover, interest in cultural decentralization and the recognition of cultural and national plurality has grown parallel to the importance of regional and local public cultural action.

This work aims to fill this gap by performing a comparison of six federal or quasi federal countries that have excelled in their development of cultural policies, comparing their different levels of autonomy, shared government and recognition of different cultural and national identities States.
