The fundamental shift from authoritarian state socialism towards market economics and European Union membership has led to an array of challenges and opportunities for the societies of the countries concerned and the arts managers working within them. If they are to shape and develop cultural life in their respective countries (the book argues), both public and independent arts organisations need to be able to rely on strong organisational structures and sufficient management capacities. For this reason, strategic planning and increased proficiency in organisational development and management become key factors. This book combines various contemporary approaches to arts management (both Western and Eastern European), highlighting practice-based management tools and unprecedented adaptations of existing theory, along with hands-on solutions developed for arts managers working internationally and in turbulent contexts.
