      abstract = {This book places the study of public support for the arts  and culture within the prism of public policy making. It is  explicitly comparative in casting cultural policy within a  broad sociopolitical and historical framework. Given the  complexity of national communities, there has been an  absence of comparative analyses that would explain the wide  variability in modes of cultural policy as reflections of  public cultures and cultural identity. The discussion is  internationally focused and interdisciplinary. Mulcahy  contextualizes a wide variety of cultural policies and  their relation to politics and identity by asking a basic  question: who gets their heritage valorized and by whom is  this done?The fundamental assumption is that culture is at  the heart of public policy as it defines national identity  and personal value.},
