“…An interesting case study in this respect is Cork, the European Capital of Culture 2005. The Cork 2005 project was basically built upon an open call for projects that led to more than 2000 submissions, and the strategy-driven cultural program was based on the decision that almost 70% of the planned activities was put together from that source (Palmer, 2004) as a platform that would give impulse to the international visibility of the Irish cultural scene (Cotter, 2005). Citizen participation and capability building was a key issue for the local administration (Bayliss, 2004), but the actual implementation led to an open, however controversial, confrontation between the main economic stakeholders and the local community as to urban renovation projects and the cultural program (O’Callaghan and Linehan, 2007).…”

In this paper we carry out a meta-analytic review of the literature on culture-led local development models. We identify and discuss three typical fallacies characterising mono-causal culture-led development schemes: instrumentalism, over-engineering, and parochialism. We then discuss their analytical background, and provide examples illustrating the consequences of each. Based upon this critical discussion, we make a case for a ‘new territorial thinking’ approach that takes into account the tangled hierarchy of global and local viewpoints that is connatural to spatially situated cultural production, and focuses upon a non-linear, multi-causal scheme as the only possible framework for the policy design of credible, socially accountable, culture-led development strategies.
