This research compendium of arts governance brings expert insights from management through the humanities and social sciences to provide a comprehensive global overview of how the field is evolving as the world is in turmoil. Moving beyond the traditional governance focus on boards, the book is structured across a framework that provides five levels of analysis: individual board directors, boards, arts organisations, community collaborations and public policy instances around the world. Contributors examine urgent contemporary issues in arts governance such as toxic leadership, bad behaviour, discrimination and post-colonialism. They present governance definitional challenges, governance struggles for organisations of different sizes and types, in different regimes, with different accountabilities, complexities, collaborations and policy environments. Experts from around the world are brought together in this book to explore and illuminate the creative sector’s distinct dynamics in arts governance. The book is an essential scholarly resource for academics, students and reflective practitioners of arts and cultural management.
