Abstract

Because of the inter-disciplinary nature of culture, a number of bodies are involved in the implementation of cultural activities in the education, culture and mass media sectors, including art, women and youth associations, religious bodies and private sector organisations. This reveals the difficulty of isolating cultural problems from other sectors of national activity. This chapter is restricted to cultural policy as pursued by the state, and cultural policy is analysed in terms of its institutions and administrative requirements and according to the aims of the national plan.
