Ehlimana Spahić and Sarina Bakić, from the Faculty of Political Sciences, University of Sarajevo, has been invited to talk about culture policy and development at the Institute of Social Studies.
The importance of culture in development
Creating an adequate culture policy has an important roll in achieving political, economic and social development. Culture and its contents in addition to spiritual and artistic value also has its commercial value.
In that context, it is of crucial importance to integrate cultural industry and other complementary industries in national cultural policy. In this context, we have analyzed previous studies and available literature, and several key models of cultural policy were identified. These models of cultural policy were analyzed in order to create suitable model for cultural policy of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Bosnia and Herzegovina has specific legal and political organization with system of shared jurisdiction between several governing levels. Ehlimana Spahić and Sarina Bakić will discuss how this complexity of the political system has created an unproductive environment for culture, and as a consequence of that culture and cultural institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina are in an unflattering position.
