Policy Transfer as Global Policy Formation and Local Policy Assemblage: Making Polices for the Creative Industries in China
The rise of the creative industries as a policy concept has been recent and rapid. Despite different cultures, socio-economies, politics, and histories, the policy concept has been widely diffusing around the world, among advanced industrialization countries, from the west to Asia, from developed countries developing countries, and even among sub-areas within the same country. Such a transnational travelling takes a form of policy transfer which can be divided into two separate stages, decontextualizing into a global form and recontextualizing into localities by an assemblage approach. The first step is attributed to the technical and neutral aspect of the creative industries concept, but the step of assemblage involves the local conditions. The article uses the case of the transfer of creative industries policy from the U.K. to China to illustrate the theoretical framework and explains the benefits from using this approach.
