The International Journal of Cultural Policy was founded by Professor Oliver Bennett in 1994 and is now published by Routledge. It provides an outlet for an interdisciplinary and international exploration of the meaning, function and impact of cultural policies. Cultural policy is understood as the promotion or prohibition of cultural practices and values by governments, corporations, other institutions and individuals.

The Journal publishes papers that reflect on cultural policy from any relevant discipline, provided they make an original academic contribution to the study of cultural policy. Papers based on research that is primarily ‘instrumental' (such as market research) or on research designed for the advocacy of a preconceived institutional position will not be accepted. This does not exclude applied research of high academic quality, particularly research that advances methodology.

The Journal addresses itself to all those with a serious intellectual interest in how and why different agencies and agents attempt to work on the cultural practices and values of individuals and societies. As an interdisciplinary and international Journal, it requires its contributors to write in a clear, readable style. Some editions of the Journal are designed around particular themes, which may relate to a specific set of issues, a geographical region or a particular cultural practice.
