| Title | Towards Decentralized Cultural Policy in Transition Countries. The Case of Bulgaria |
| Summary | This thesis studies the process of decentralization in culture in the CEE countries in transition. More specifically it seeks to answer the question what are the main drawbacks in this process, which have determined its inconsistency, observed in almost all CEE countries, and have led to many problems today. The research findings support the hypothesis that the core problem of the process is two-fold. On one hand, there is a lack of a revision on both national and local levels of the concept for public culture and hence, the necessary cultural policy. This lack of a revision is essential as it impedes the decision-makers to look at the investment in culture from the perspective of all educational, social and economic arguments related to culture. The functional dimension regards the units of local self-government and their lack of financial means, capacity and competences for the process of decentralization. |
