“…This is why, on the one hand, our analysis goes beyond the historicalinstitutionalist approach implemented by Gattinger and Saint-Pierre (2008). However, on the other hand, although a comparative perspective is beyond the scope of this paper, the reader will find some special references to the analysis of the development of cultural policy in Quebec and Scotland.…”

“…However, in another work, Gattinger and Saint-Pierre (2008) analyse the origins and evolution of cultural policy in Quebec (and Ontario), adopting a historicalinstitutionalist approach which helps to illuminate the distinctive policy and administrative trajectories of the cases examined. However, as they focus on the comparative cultural policy field, their explanation of cultural policy change describes more what is happening and less how and why: for example, in periods of significant continuity in policy contents, in crisis times or in openness to policy change processes.…”

Culture has come to play a fundamental strategic role in the territorial development that seeks to integrate knowledge economy with social cohesion, governance and sustainability. However, cultural policies have been unable to respond to the dilemmas and expectations that this new order presents. In order to appreciate the consequences of this process, it is essential to gain a better understanding of cultural policy change dynamics. This paper develops a framework for analysing cultural policy stability and change and applies it to the evolution of cultural policy in Catalonia. Both policy continuity and change are conditioned by the evolution of policy discourse on culture and the characteristics of the cultural policy subsystem. Within this framework, we also take into account the role of factors that are exogenous to the cultural domain. Lastly this paper addresses particular characteristics of cultural policy change in regions or stateless nations. Key wordsCultural policy change, policy discourse, policy subsystem, national identity, Catalonia When in May of 2008 the Parliament of Catalonia passed a law setting up the National Council for Culture and the Arts, and created the first mixed cultural policy system in southern Europe (bringing together both a department of culture and an arm's length administrative body), it was confirming two phenomena that are reflected in our initial quotes. Firstly, that culture (in its different senses) has come to play an increasingly fundamental strategic role in the territorial development that seeks to integrate knowledge economy with social cohesion, governance and sustainability. And secondly, that public policies in this field have been unable to respond to the often irreconcilable dilemmas and expectations that this new order presents. The history and evolution of cultural policy after World War II is related to these two phenomena. In order to appreciate the consequences of this process, it is therefore essential to understand the factors that determine significant policy change and continuity. We understand the direction of change in cultural policy as being a primary element for

“…The latter have proved capable of reproducing and re-directing the traditional aims of state cultural policies, fostering different identity-based projects (Villarroya, 2012), and for developing cultural industries at the regional scale (Pérez and Vives, 2012). Diverse discursive constructs have strengthened the hand of regions in the cultural sphere (Johannisson, 2010) and have legitimised the special forms taken by national models (Gattinger and Saint-Pierre, 2008). This re-configuration of public cultural action has given rise to various kinds of governance, which are not without their drawbacks.…”

Since the nineties, regional governance has acquired an increasing importance for cultural policies in the developing world. However, the elements determining the development of unequal models of cultural governance within the same country, and the differential relevance of subnational nationalism in this regard, have not been completely explained. In this article we develop a comparative analysis of the autonomous cultural policies of Catalonia, Madrid, and Andalusia. Thus, we explain how their models of horizontal governance are determined by common elements, such as the model of public policies, and other specific differential factors such as historical and industrial local heritage and regional identity, where nationalism is specifically relevant.

“…Estas políticas han sido capaces de reproducir y reconducir muchos de los tradicionales objetivos de la política cultural estatal, como la promoción de proyectos identitarios diferenciados (Villarroya, 2012) o el desarrollo de las industrias culturales -a escala regional- (Pérez y Vives, 2012). Varias construcciones discursivas han permitido reafirmar su naturaleza autónoma en la esfera cultural (Johannisson, 2010) y legitimar su isomorfismo con respecto a los diferentes modelos nacionales (Gattinger y Saint-Pierre, 2008 Por otra parte, aunque inscrita relativamente en el marco de estos modelos, la política cultural se dirige en todos los países tanto a gestionar las dinámicas sectoriales -por ejemplo, facilitando la producción artística-y proteger el patrimonio, como a promover una identidad común, entendiendo la cultura como forma de vida (Garretón, 2008: 77 (Dubois, 1999;Lebovics, 2000). De este modo, se transforma en un instrumento que puede favorecer una determinada ordenación social, mediante su contribución a la dinamización de nuevas prácticas y a la construcción de representaciones sociales, entre ellas, las de tipo nacional (Zolberg, 2007).…”

RESUMENDesde los años noventa, la gobernanza subestatal ha adquirido una importancia creciente en las políticas culturales del mundo desarrollado. Sin embargo, los factores determinantes de los desiguales modelos de gobernanza de la cultura desarrollados en un mismo estado y la importancia diferencial del nacionalismo subestatal en su orientación no se han explicado debidamente. En este artículo establecemos un análisis comparativo de este fenómeno a partir de los casos de las administraciones autonómicas de Cataluña, Madrid y Andalucía. De este modo, explicamos cómo sus formas de gobernanza horizontal se atienen a algunos factores comunes, como el modelo estatal de políticas públicas, y a otros de tipo diferencial, como son el patrimonio histórico e industrial propio, y el carácter identitario regional, donde la cuestión nacional tiene un peso específico.Palabras clave: política cultural, gobernanza, nacionalismo, Estado de las autonomías.
