Cultural leadership at supranational level
Instrumentalisation of culture and exercise of power
Abstract
This essay highlights the relation of cultural leadership at supranational level with instrumentalisation of culture using key funding schemes and cultural policy and diplomacy documents within the process of making and breaking of Europe. Following the development of the EU cultural policy agenda since 1990, it discusses the role and use of culture as an instrument of influence and highlights how it serves as a means for the European Union to exercise power and assert a leading position in the European and global arena.
