TRAIL, TRUST AND TRIBULATION The Distribution of Roles and Changing Nature of Relations between Governments and Arts Councils, Associations and Foundations Report edited by Anthony Everit |
This book provides a timely contribution to the contemporary debate on the role of independent or quasi-independent funding agencies or bodies for culture.
The theme chosen for the 5th CIRCLE Round Table held in Budapest in 1994, is still topical both in the ´new democracies´ of Central and Eastern Europe and in Western European countries at the time when they are reshaping their funding practices and policies.
The report also reflects a key aspect of CIRCLE´s work i.e. the stimulation
of East-West exchange.
