    Die Neuen Nationalismen und die Zukunft der internationalen Kulturbeziehungen

    No full text
    Die Autor:innen untersuchen anhand einer Analyse der auswärtigen Kulturpolitik in acht Ländern – Deutschland, Frankreich, Italien, Polen, Großbritannien, USA, China, Russland und Türkei –, wie sich der zunehmende Nationalismus auf die Rolle der Soft Power auswirkt. Sie stellen die These auf, dass das internationale Umfeld der auswärtigen Kulturpolitik künftig von Nullsummenspielen und unterschiedlichen nationalen Graden des Nationalismus bestimmt sein wird. Während Institutionen in Frankreich weniger geschützt vor nationalistischen Einflüssen seien, biete das “arm’s length“-Prinzip – also die größere Unabhängigkeit der Institutionen internationaler Kulturbeziehungen von staatlichen Stellen – in Großbritannien und Deutschland eine größere Sicherheit. In den USA wiederum diene die Vielfalt der privaten Akteur:innen als Schutzschirm. In China, Russland und der Türkei sei mit einem zunehmenden Einfluss des Nationalismus auf die auswärtige Kulturpolitik zu rechnen. Polen dagegen biete ein gutes Beispiel für institutionellen Widerstand gegen nationalistische Kräfte. Anschließend widmen sich die Autor:innen in einer Fallstudie dem gegenwärtigen politischen Diskurs in Deutschland, indem sie die Standpunkte verschiedener nationalistischer Parteien zur deutschen Auswärtigen Kultur- und Gesellschaftspolitik vergleichen. Abschließend formulieren sie Empfehlungen für Länder wie Deutschland und andere europäische Nationen, darunter die Förderung des „arm’s length“-Prinzips in zentralen Institutionen, eine bessere Koordinierung zwischen Akteur:innen der auswärtigen Kulturpolitik im Inland und innerhalb der EU, eine Abschottung gegen schädliche äußere Einflüsse, die Stärkung antinationalistischer Narrative sowie die proaktive Nutzung vorhandener Stärken und Chancen

    Transitional Justice, Vergangenheitsarbeit und Auswärtige Kulturpolitik

    No full text
    Wie gestaltet sich das Zusammenspiel von Vergangenheitsarbeit, Friedensförderung, Kunst und Kultur in der internationalen Zusammenarbeit der Bundesrepublik Deutschland? Welche Verbindungen bestehen zwischen dem eigenen Umgang mit gewaltbelasteter Vergangenheit und der Unterstützung dieser Prozesse im Ausland – und welche Chancen und Herausforderungen ergeben sich daraus für die dritte Säule der deutschen Außenpolitik, die Auswärtige Kulturpolitik? Diesen Fragen geht der vorliegende Artikel nach. Er beleuchtet zunächst das im internationalen Kontext für Vergangenheitsarbeit geläufige Konzept von Transitional Justice, seine Entstehung, Entwicklung in der Praxis und seine Einbettung in deutsches wie internationales Friedensengagement. Dabei geht er auch auf die deutsche Aufarbeitungsgeschichte, Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten mit Transitional Justice-Prozessen sowie aktuelle Entwicklungen ein. Schließlich wird aufgezeigt, welche Überschneidungen zwischen Auswärtiger Kulturpolitik und Vergangenheitsarbeit bereits jetzt bestehen, welche Potenziale die Auswärtige Kulturpolitik hierbei hat und wie Synergien zwischen Auswärtiger Kulturpolitik, Vergangenheitsarbeit und Friedensförderung gestärkt werden können

    Descolonizar las relaciones culturales internacionales

    No full text
    «Prácticas decoloniales en las relaciones culturales internacionales» presenta un argumento convincente para replantearse los fundamentos epistémicos y las prácticas operativas de la interacción cultural mundial. El intercambio cultural, la cooperación artística y el artivismo ofrecen un enfoque dinámico y con implicaciones políticas sobre la descolonización, al desafiarnos a imaginar modelos de diplomacia cultural más justos e inclusivos. Las voces del llamado Sur Global, una mayoría global con experiencias específicas de dominación y luchas por la liberación, son clave para entender los retos de los problemas actuales, ya que se originaron en una práctica histórica específica de la modernización durante los últimos siglos. Escuchar estas voces puede ser una manera de empezar a resolver algunos problemas. Las personas responsables de las políticas y las instituciones deben responder no solo sirviendo de altavoz a estas voces, sino también transformando las propias estructuras a través de las cuales se produce e intercambia la cultura en la escena mundial. Las prácticas decoloniales en este sentido pueden entenderse como prácticas que buscan una mayor igualdad mundial y un empoderamiento cívico en las relaciones culturales internacionales

    Next Generation Kazakhstan

    No full text
    Next Generation Kazakhstan is a research study which provides an understanding of young people’s perceptions, aspirations, priorities and key needs in Kazakhstan today. This will support the British Council’s ability to understand, develop and advocate youth-based interventions across the Education and Creative sectors and within policymaking circles with partners and stakeholders. The target age group for the research was 18 – 35 years old. The key themes of the research report are young people, their identity, values, education, skills, employment, local and global challenges and youth voice. There is also a focus on the role of digital, technology and social media in the lives of young Kazakhstanis. The research comes at a significant moment, as Kazakhstan moves beyond its first generation of independence. This timing provides a unique opportunity to hear from young people who have grown up entirely in an independent Kazakhstan and gain insights into their views and vision for the future

    Arts and technologies in China: Connecting futures

    No full text
    This report maps a fast-evolving field in mainland China. It highlights emerging practices, charts connections between artists, institutions and companies, and identifies opportunities for UK–China exchange in areas such as generative AI, immersive media, art–science collaboration and digital heritage. It also recognises the distinctive conditions in which this work takes place, shaped by commercial–artistic hybridity, state policy priorities and challenges that practitioners must navigate. The report forms part of a wider series of British Council research on arts and technologies ecosystems, with earlier studies in India, ASEAN, North East Asia and Jordan. Together, these reports provide a growing evidence base to support future partnerships, policy dialogue and cultural exchange

    Domination Without Hegemony?

    No full text
    Following the playbook of Project 25, the second Trump administration has shattered many of the foundational elements of US soft power, quickly resulting in the decline of US soft power and a vacuum at the heart of the global cultural diplomacy landscape. At the same time, the US used its considerable economic and military muscle to bully friends and rivals alike, suggesting not a withdrawal from the international stage, but a shift to a transactional bilateral approach—domination without cultural hegemony. As a result, Europe—and Germany in particular—face a series of fundamental questions about how they adapt to geopolitics and geoeconomics transformed. They could use external cultural policy (ECP) to advance broader universalist liberal democratic principles and develop a forward-looking vision and narrative on their own that can be proven by its overall economic performance and quality of life, technological achievements and stability as a military alliance. However, such actions imply stark choices and require political will that is commensurate with the challenges ahead. Unless these challenges are met, Europe and Germany will remain middling powers increasingly at the mercy of the US and China

    UK Cultural Diplomacy in Europe 1989-2025: Lessons and Implications for Future UK Soft Power Strategy

    No full text
    This timely report by historian Dr Charlotte Faucher (University of Bristol) examines UK cultural relations and soft power in Europe since the fall of the Berlin Wall. It identifies the long-term patterns, trends and geopolitical shifts that have shaped policy and practice, combining literature review, archival research, oral history, stakeholder interviews and qualitative analysis. It seeks to address present-day policy challenges and opportunities in light of the experience of the past, taking us from the end of the Cold War and the subsequent expansion of the European Union right up to the present day. As well as offering policy recommendations on the future of UK soft power strategy in Europe, the report also provides broader historical insight into the role and impact of cultural diplomacy and cultural relations within international affairs. Its emphasis on personal testimony and the lived experience of current and former policy actors and practitioners allows the analysis to go beyond the purely quantitative metrics that sometimes fail to capture markers of success. In a world fragmented by wars and conflicts, including in Europe, the report argues powerfully that cultural diplomacy is not a luxury; it is a strategic necessity. It draws on the lessons of the past to show how the UK can reinvigorate its cultural presence and soft power across Europe, ensuring it remains a trusted and influential partner in shaping the continent’s future

    Shaping Cultural Policies in Europe for Free and Democratic Societies

    No full text
    In times of multiple, overlapping crises and increasingly diverse perspectives, calls for greater participation are emerging both within and beyond European societies. Polarisation and radicalisation are accelerating, with political extremes capturing a growing share of the electorate. No longer a fringe movement, far-right populist parties in particular are gaining influence. Meanwhile a persistent, group-centred, exclusionary notion of culture continues to emerge, prompting crucial questions: Can the cultural sector help to strengthen European democracies? How can it rebuild a broad consensus around a common set of democratic values in Europe? What failures and oversights made by the cultural sector must be acknowledged? Moving forward, how can we reframe and strengthen the narrative(s) of an open Europe? What role can cultural and artistic practices play in these processes? And how can their spaces, as “third places”, facilitate meaningful dialogue and negotiation within society? These interrogations have guided the recommendations set out in this Policy Brief, which is intended to inform the implementation of cultural policy at local, national, and European levels. The Policy Brief was authored by experts from the Weimar Triangle and draws on a Chatham House workshop that brought together twenty practitioners and researchers from seven European countries
