Milena Dragićević Šešić, Sanjin Dragojević - Arts management in turbulent times

This book is about managing the arts in turbulent social, economic and cultural contexts.
Since the 1990s, the cultural sector in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe
and South East Europe has been subject to a dramatic period of change and development.
The fundamental shifts from authoritarian state socialism towards market
economy and European Union membership - whether already achieved or still in
close or far perspective - has left the societies of these countries and the art managers
working in them with an array of challenges and opportunities. Yet, although the
cultural sector was of significant public importance under the previous regimes, its
professionalisation has not been a top development priority under the new democratic
governments.
