ICCPR 2006 aims to provide an outlet for interdisiplinary and international exploration of the concepts, function and impact of cultural policies. It intends to reflect a broad view of cultural policy encompassing culture as a "way of life" as well as, in the narrower sense, culture of the arts and cultural industries. It will be conserned with both, the policies of decision makers, of administration and institutions as well as the wider discourses related to the general conditions of culture.
