Abstract

This short paper outlines a personal position ‘between’ political economy and policy. I take a critical, interdisciplinary approach to policy analysis and policy advocacy, where the economic, the legal and other dimensions of specialist knowledge need to be brought together with cultural and communication policy. However, my background in cultural studies makes me predisposed to focus on content and the social sphere, with cultural consumption and production to the fore. Policy and industry appear to have little understanding of the dimensions of social and cultural change in the sphere of cultural consumption and production; these are posing quite large problems for policy and industry today.
