The creative industries are the subject of growing attention among
policy-makers, academics, activists, artists and development specialists
worldwide. This engaging book provides a global overview of developments in the
creative industries, and analyses how these developments relate to wider debates
about globalization, cities, culture and the global creative economy. Flew

consumption; markets; places; and policies. Designed for the non-specialist, the
text includes insightful and wide-ranging case studies on topics such as:
fashion; design thinking; global culture; creative occupations; monopoly and
competition; Shanghai and Seoul as creative cities; popular music and urban
cultural policy; and the rise of "Nollywood." "Global Creative Industries"
