“…Barrowclough and Kozul-Wright, 2008;Pratt, 2009a). The creative economy discourse is not merely accepted in its original form, in which creative industries should generate novelty and employ new technologies (Potts, 2007;Barrowclough and Kozul-Wright, 2008). The essential meaning of this discourse also is not really grasped, but rather normatively used to strengthen the image of the local economy (Gibson and Kong, 2005;Kong et al, 2006).…”

“…Therefore, there is always an opportunity for lower income countries like Indonesia to be successful in implementing the creative economy policy, although not in all regions. Creativity is path dependent, as it comes from traditional knowledge and skills which are combined with the latest technology and IPRs (Barrowclough and Kozul-Wright, 2008). As IT advances and societies are intermingling, the chance to innovate is always there.…”

“…If they seek to develop the cognitive creative economy, they might be hampered by poor technology and infrastructure (UNCTAD, 2010). It could also be problematic as they wish to compete with developed countries, while still importing creative products from the West (Barrowclough and Kozul-Wright, 2008). On the contrary, if they refer to the cultural and artistic economy, policy strategies can be designed in a different way.…”

“…An impression from this debate is therefore that creative industries could be similar to cultural industries, which can come from ancient and traditional skills, but they should be combined with the latest technology and IPRs (cf. Barrowclough and Kozul-Wright, 2008). …”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractThis paper investigates how the global discourse on creative economy is interpreted in a developing country context, and in particular the case of Indonesia. We accomplish this by examining how this discourse is institutionalized in several cities. We found that the discourse is interpreted differently across localities. Bandung appears as a special case of the knowledge-based creative industry development, as it is strongly supported by academia and communities who really wanted to experiment with this policy narrative. The Bandung case also provides an insight that the creative economy, as a relatively new idea, develops not only as a discourse, but also as a workable framework for development policies. Meanwhile, other cities seem to pragmatically rebrand the policy to drive economic development, without considering the local contexts, whereby traditional cultural industries are rebranded as creative industries, although they hardly perform new knowledge learning and innovation.Apart from this, as we learn from Bandung there are possibilities for a developing country like Indonesia to foster the creative economy by reshaping local institutions that will support successful experimentation with this new policy idea.

“…E conomic activities that utilise individual creativity and talent, such as creative industries, are considered a relatively new instrument for urban and regional economic development in the context of "developing" countries (Barrowclough and Kozul-Wright 2008;De Beukelaer 2014;Fahmi, McCann, and Koster 2017;UNESCO and UNDP 2013). Various policy strategies are designated to promote these industries so as to stimulate economic development.…”

Creative Industries and Regional Productivity Growth in the Developing Economy: Evidence from Indonesia

This paper examines the degree to which creative industries stimulate regional productivity growth in a developing country, Indonesia. The Indonesian government promotes long‐established “traditional” craft businesses as creative industries, but they pay less attention to new knowledge creation and focus on highlighting heritage values as selling points. Our findings show that the “real” creative industries are still scarce and found mostly in fairly advanced urban regions. These industries are more likely to be an indicator than a driver of regional economic development. Meanwhile, those traditional businesses are much larger than creative industries and potentially contribute to regional productivity through consumption activities, thereby requiring different policy strategies.
