Abstract
The context of economic globalization poses an unprecedented challenge to public policy in the area of culture, as the fragile balance between economics and culture, formerly ensured by the state, is called into question. Far from indicating that the state no longer has a role to play, the imperatives of cultural development demand a dynamic approach to public policy. The democratic stake of cultural development is to re-establish the citizen’s right to contribute to public life and, in this respect, to promote access to and participation in the cultural sphere which, the authors maintain, is increasingly centered in the mass media.Keywords
