Effective policy-making is essential for the development of a sustainable and competitive creative economy. The structure around which the creative economy develops is shaped by a series of government interventions, from IP regulations to tax regimes and education policies. Through this strand of work, and in recognition that the creative economy is both a global and local phenomenon, the British Council seeks to promote the discussion and sharing of appropriate initiatives and perspectives, building dialogue at local, regional and international levels to develop more sustainable and relevant policy making.
