Abstract

Bayliss D. (2004) Ireland's creative development: local authority strategies for culture-led development, Regional Studies38, 817-831. This paper addresses specific gaps in our understanding of practice and policy concerning culture and local and regional development in Ireland. It is a country in which the development impacts of cultural policy are of increasing importance, yet the state of knowledge and policy in terms of the arts and culture remains underdeveloped. The paper provides an overview of European strategies for culture-led development, and reviews the increasing importance of culture and creativity within strategies for development in Ireland. It then presents an analysis of a questionnaire survey of Irish local authorities concerning their use of culture as a tool of development. This analysis identifies a marked enthusiasm for cultural development in Ireland, especially in a rural context, but also suggests a neglect of economic development objectives and the need for a more refined approach to social development. Bayliss D. (2004) L'esprit creatif irlandais: la strategie des adminstrations locales quant au developpement fonde sur la culture, Regional Studies38, 817-831. Cet article cherche a aborder la question des insuffisances en matiere des connaissances de la pratique et de la politique concernant la culture et le developpement regional en Irlande. C'est un pays ou l'impact de la politique culturelle sur le developpement est d'une importance accrue, tandis que les connaissances et la politique en faveur de la promotion des arts restent a developper. Cet article donne une vue d'ensemble des strategies europeennes quant au developpement fonde sur la culture et fait la critique de l'importance accrue de la culture et de l'esprit creatif au coeur des strategies en faveur du developpement de l'Irlande. Il s'ensuit une analyse d'une etude etablie a partir d'un questionnaire aupres des administrations locales en Irlande concernant l'emploi de la culture en tant qu'outil de developpement. L'analyse fait non seulement preuve d'un enthousiasme marque en faveur du developpement culturel en Irlande, surtout en milieu rural, mais aussi laisse supposer une certaine indifference a l'egard des objectifs de developpement economique et la necessite d'une facon plus peaufinee d'aborder le developpement social. Bayliss D. (2004) Irlands kreative Entwicklung: Strategien der Ortsverwaltungen fur Entwicklung mit Kultur als Antriebskraft, Regional Studies38, 817-831. Dieser Aufsatz wendet sich an gewisse Lucken in unserem Verstandnis der Bestrebungen und praktischen Handhabung bezuglich Kultur und ortlicher bz.w. regionaler Entwicklung in Irland. Es ist ein Land, in dem die Entwicklungsauswirkungen der Kulturpolitik zunehmend von Bedeutung sind, doch Wissensstand und Bestrebungen betreff der schonen Kunste und Kultur unterentwickelt bleiben. Dieser Aufsatz gibt einen uberblick uber europaische Entwicklungsstrategien, bei denen Kultur die Antriebskraft darstellt, und bespricht die zunehmende Bedeutung von Kultur und schopferischer Betatigung im Zusammenhang mit Strategien fur die Enwicklung in Irland. Anschliessend legt er eine Analyse einer Feagebogenumfrage unter irischen Ortsverwaltungen vor, die sich auf deren Verwendung von Kultur als Werkzeug fur Entwicklungsarbeit bezieht. Diese Analyse stellt eine deutliche Begeisterung fur kulturelle Entwicklung in Irland fest, besonders auf dem Lande, weist aber auch auf die Vernachlassigung wirtschaftlicher Entwicklungsziele hin, und auf die Notwendigkeit eines verfeinerten Angehens der sozialen Enwicklung. Bayliss D. (2004) El desarrollo creativo de Irlanda: las estrategias de los ayuntamientos para un desarrollo basado en la cultura, Regional Studies38, 817-831. Este articulo aborda lagunas especificas en nuestro entendimiento de las practicas y las politicas en torno al desarrollo regional, local y cultural en Irlanda. este es un pais en el que el impacto en el desarrollo de politicas culturales es de creciente importancia, aun asi el estado del conocimiento y de politica en lo que se refiere a las artes y a la cultura permanece subdesarrollado. El articulo ofrece una revision panoramica de las estrategias europeas para el desarrollo basado en la cultura, y revisa la creciente importancia de la cultura y la creatividad dentro de las estrategias para el desarrollo en Irlanda. Luego se presenta un analisis de una encuesta de los ayuntamientos irlandeses en lo que respecta al uso que hacen de la cultura como herramienta de desarrollo. Este analisis idenfica un marcado entusiasmo por el desarrollo cultural en Irlanda, especialmente en un contexto rural, pero tambien sugiere un descuido de los objetivos de desarrollo economico y la necesidad de un enfoque de cara al desarrollo social mas refinado.
